A poster war erupted between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday with both linking each other’s top leadership to Pakistani leaders.
While the BJP’s Information Department chief Amit Malviya linked Rahul Gandhi with Pakistani Army chief Asim Munir, the Bihar Congress linked PM Narendra Modi to Ex-PM of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif.
Amit Malviya took to social media to share a poster juxtaposing Rahul Gandhi’s face with Pakistan’s Army chief Asim Munir with ‘One Agenda’ written on it.
“What’s next for Rahul Gandhi? The Nishan-e-Pakistan?” he wrote in the caption.
Malviya alleged that Rahul Gandhi is speaking the language of Pakistan and that it is not surprising.
“He hasn’t congratulated the Prime Minister on the flawless Operation Sindoor, which unmistakably showcases India’s dominance. Instead, he repeatedly asks how many jets we lost—a question that has already been addressed in the DGMO briefings. Curiously, he hasn’t once inquired about how many Pakistani jets were shot down during the conflict, or how many were destroyed while parked in their hangars when Indian forces pounded Pakistani airbases,” he wrote on X.
Later, the Bihar Congress also shared a similar poster juxtaposing PM Narendra Modi and Pakistan’s former PM Nawaz Sharif with “Biryani” written on it.
They captioned the photo as “Ek biryani desh par bhari.”
The poster war stems from the opposition’s constant questions regarding Operation Sindoor and US President Donald Trump’s involvement in the India-Pakistan ceasefire. Leader of Opposition of Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has reiterated his claims that India maintained silence over the loss of assets during Operation Sindoor, calling it a “crime” to have informed Pakistan beforehand, while citing remarks made by Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar.
India and Pakistan indulged in intense cross-border strikes after the latter launched unprovoked attacks following Indian Army’s Operation Sindoor. After four days, both countries agreed to an understanding to stop firing. Trump announced the same before both the countries and called it a full and immediate ceasefire and claimed that the US mediated between the two.
