In a rare show of political unity, opposition parties across India have come out in strong support of the Indian Army’s Operation Sindoor.

Congress Leaders Support Armed Forces’ Action Against Pak Terror Camps

In a unified show of support, senior Congress leaders, including Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, expressed pride in the Indian Armed Forces following reported strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes, reportedly targeting terror launchpads across the Line of Control (LoC), were conducted in response to increased infiltration attempts and cross-border terrorism.

Rahul Gandhi posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Proud of our Armed Forces. Jai Hind!” His message was echoed by Kharge and other senior Congress figures who lauded the bravery and professionalism of the Indian military. Congress leaders emphasized that national security transcends political lines, reaffirming the party’s long-standing support for counter-terror operations to safeguard the nation.

The operation is considered a significant step in India’s ongoing strategy to combat terrorism emanating from across the border. With tensions remaining high in the region, the strikes signal India’s firm resolve against terror networks operating with impunity in PoK.

This bipartisan backing underscores the critical role of a unified national front in the face of security threats. As India continues to confront cross-border terrorism, the political consensus bolsters both military morale and strategic coherence in addressing future challenges.

Opposition Leaders Hail Swift Response to Pahalgam Terror Attack

Leaders from Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and several regional parties have praised the government’s decisive response following the Pahalgam terror attack, which left 26 civilians dead. The brutal assault, allegedly orchestrated by Pakistan-backed militants, targeted a bus carrying pilgrims, sparking national outrage. In a rare show of unity, opposition parties commended the security forces’ prompt retaliation and demanded intensified anti-terror operations. The attack highlights persistent security challenges in Jammu and Kashmir and has reignited calls for stronger cross-border counterterrorism measures. Leaders emphasized national unity and the need for proactive security infrastructure.
