NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that India had called Pakistan “just minutes” after conducting Operation Sindoor. During his address in the Lok Sabha, the Prime Minister said that India achieved 100% of its objectives during the operation.“Just in a few minutes after our Operation, our military told the Pakistan military that we had this aim and we have achieved it, to know what they were thinking,” PM Modi said.“We achieved our target 100%. Had Pakistan used its brain, it wouldn’t have stood with terrorists. But shamelessly, they stood with terrorists. We were prepared and awaiting.”PM Modi’s remarks came after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the government of making an “immediate surrender” by calling Pakistan at 1:35 am—just 30 minutes after the airstrikes began at 1:05 am. Gandhi claimed that India told Pakistan it had hit non-military targets and did not want escalation. “That’s surrender. Immediate surrender in 30 minutes,” he declared.During his address to the Lower House, Prime Minister hit back at the Congress accusing it of undermining the morale of the armed forces. “India got support from the entire world, but it is unfortunate that the Congress did not support the valour of our soldiers,” he said. “Congress leaders targeted me for political gains, but their frivolous statements ended up discouraging our brave soldiers.”He went on to say that no foreign leader had asked India to end military operations after the Pahalgam terror attack. “Congress now operates through the remote control of Pakistan and makes young leaders call Operation Sindoor a ‘tamasha’,” Modi said, referring to Gandhi’s criticisms.Responding to Congress’s demand to know why PoK hadn’t been reclaimed, PM Modi asked, “Before asking why PoK has not been taken back yet, Congress must respond—who let it go?” He blamed the loss of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on historical errors by Congress leaders, especially Jawaharlal Nehru, accusing them of ordering unilateral ceasefires and failing to act decisively during earlier opportunities.The Prime Minister also described the Indus Waters Treaty as a “big blunder” by Nehru, and said his government had since made it clear that “blood and water cannot flow together.”Earlier, home minister Amit Shah echoed similar sentiments, calling Pakistan a “result of the Congress party’s blunder” and pinning the blame for PoK on Nehru’s 1948 ceasefire decision.
