The opposition’s Lok Sabha on Monday questioned Foreign Minister Jaishankar on Monday that how many aircraft the Indian Air Force lost during Operation Sindoor and said the nation said that the nation “deserves the truth”.
“Em Jaishankar’s silence is not just telling – it is harmful. So I will ask again: How many Indian aircraft lost because Pakistan knew? It was not a lapse. It was not a lapse. It was a crime. And the nation was entitled to the truth,” Rahul Gandhi posted on X.
Rahul Gandhi shared a video of Eam Jaishankar on May 17, in which he said that “In the beginning of the operation, we have sent a message to Pakistan that we are strike on the infrastructure and we are not strike in the army, so there is an option to stand up and not interfere in the process. They are not taking good advice.”
Congress MP Manikam Tagore supported his leader and said that the nation deserves truth and Parliament is entitled to accountability.
“On May 17, 2025, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi asked a serious and specific question:” How many Indian aircraft did we lose because Pakistan already knew? ” It recently in an interview, External Affairs Minister S. After Jaishankar came, it was admitted that India informed Pakistan before a sensitive military mission. In any parliamentary democracy, when the opposition raises matters of national security, the minister is the duty to respond. Nevertheless, Eam remains silent.
This silence raises serious questions: Why was Pakistan already informed? Who authorized this violation of operational privacy? What was the result of our armed forces due to this? This was not a regular decision. It was not a diplomatic formality. If the Indian aircraft were lost due to the foreknowledge given to the enemy – this is not a lapse. This is a betrayal.
The nation deserves truth. Parliament is entitled to accountability. And those responsible people should be held in the account, “Tagore posted on X.
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi, in his post on X, did the wrongdoing by the government, saying, “It was a crime to inform Pakistan at the beginning of our attack. Eam has publicly acknowledged that Goi did this. Who authorized it? How many aircraft did our Air Force lose as a result?”
Calling this statement “completely wrong of facts”, the Ministry of External Affairs had said that the EAM had said that the government had warned Pakistan in the “Early phase after the start of Operation Sindor” and not before.
India launched Operation Sindor on 7 May on 7 April in response to a terrorist attack in Pahgam, killing 26 civilians. As part of the operation, the Indian armed forces targeted deep terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, which ended more than 100 terrorists associated with Jai-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.
After the strike, Pakistan attempted border shelling and drone attacks. In response, India launched coordinated air strikes that damaged the major military infrastructure in the 11 Pakistani airbases. On May 10, both sides declared an understanding at the end of enmity. (AI)
