Operation Sindoor In Parliament: Facts, Questions, And Missed Opportunity | Ctrl Alt Defence Ep 14
Update on : Aug 2, 2025 19:17 (IST)
Operation Sindoor returned to the centre of national debate this week as Parliament witnessed a stormy session. In this episode of Ctrl Alt Defence, Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor move beyond the headlines to examine the facts, scrutinise the claims, and ask the questions that really matter.
Did the government really "tie the hands" of the Indian Air Force, as Rahul Gandhi alleged in his speech? Were critical military decisions politically motivated or strategically sound? From remarks by the Defence Minister to references to military attachés, we unpack the claims, counterclaims, and the context behind them.
This is not about choosing sides, but about seeking clarity. Was India's restrained approach a mature strategic decision? What was achieved and what was at risk? And when political statements cross into military matters, who really pays the price?
There's a lot of noise, but in this episode we aim for substance, fact-checking, myth-busting, and a closer look at what was said and what wasn't.
