New Delhi. Congress leader and former Union Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar has given a controversy statement about Operation Sindoor. Mani Shankar Aiyar told the news agency IANS that None of the 33 countries where Shashi Tharoor and his people went said that Pakistan is responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack. Mani Shankar Aiyar said that the United Nations did not say that Pakistan is the responsibility. The US also did not say that Pakistan is responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack. BJP’s national spokesperson Shahzad Poonawala has retaliated on this statement of Mani Shankar Iyer.
Mani Shankar Iyer did not stop here. He said that we are the only one who beat up his chest and says that Hi-Hi Pakistan is responsible. Nobody is ready to accept. He said that we are not able to present any evidence that people are happy that we know which agency is in Pakistan that has done this action. On this statement of Mani Shankar Aiyar, BJP spokesperson Shahzad Poonawala said that perhaps the Congress party does not know that the United Nations Security Council panel has expressed concern over the role of TRF, the branch of Lashkar-e-Taiba in the Pahalgam attack. Shahzad said that perhaps the Congress does not even know that terrorism was born in Pakistan.

The BJP spokesperson said that whether Lashkar or Jaish, we had destroyed their camps in Operation Sindoor. Shahzad Poonawala said that it is unfortunate that the Congress is rescue of Pakistan and insulting our armed forces. Please tell that a lot of hurdle was made by the Congress on Operation Sindoor. Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, asked the question how many Rafale aircraft of the Indian Air Force should be killed by Pakistan. Operation Sindoor has also been discussed in Parliament. Now with the statement of Mani Shankar Aiyar, this issue has warmed the politics again.
