"Silence Is Damning": Rahul Gandhi Targets S Jaishankar Again, BJP Replies

Doubling down on his attack on External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today reiterated his earlier claim that the Centre informed Pakistan "at the start" of Operation Sindoor and said this wasn't a "lapse", but a "crime". This drew a sharp response from the government, which called it "an utter misrepresentation of facts". The BJP has said the Leader of Opposition's misrepresentation of the minister's remarks "reeks of malafide intent" and questioned the timing of this charge.
