Salman khurshid rrr statement: At this time in the country, there is a war not only on the boundaries, but also in the corridors of politics. On the one hand, the Indian Army is giving a befitting reply to the enemy with actions like ‘Operation Sindoor’, while on the other hand some leaders sitting inside the country are not deterred from giving indirect support to Pakistan by questioning the morale of the army. Amidst this deep political conflict, senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid has given a statement that has exposed the internal discord of his own party. The BJP has got a new opportunity to attack the Congress and this time the target itself is ‘RRR’ – ie Rahul Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh and Revanth Reddy.
When the voice of nationalism arose from within the Congress
Salman Khurshid, who was once a trusted minister of the UPA government, is now questioning the attitude of his own party. In his latest statement, he indirectly targeted the Pakistan-reflective mindset of some Congress leaders and clarified that ‘there could be no family above the national interest’. This statement comes at a time when the ‘RRR’ gang – Rahul Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh and Revan Reddy – are calling ‘Operation Sindoor’ on open forums, which is facing heavy criticism for the Congress.
BJP’s sharp attack
BJP leader Shahzad Poonawala, while catching Khurshid’s statement, put the Congress in the dock. He said in a sarcastic tone, “I am afraid that now Pawan Kheda and Udit Raj should not declare him ‘super spokesperson’ after listening to Salman Khurshid. He also added that like Manish Tiwari and Shashi Tharoor, now Khurshid has also shown a mirror to the party’s ‘RRR’ gang. Poonawala did not stop here. He accused the Congress that its MPs were engaged in degrading India’s army instead of exposing Pakistan. He said, “Sadly, these people are insulting the army and parliament of the country, and they have more trust in other countries than their country.”
Is the Congress’s conscience awake?
Salman Khurshid’s statement indicates the deep dissatisfaction that is slowly flourishing within the Congress. Whenever the top leaders of the party speak in favor of Pakistan or deny the achievements of the army, then some experienced leaders of the Congress become uncomfortable. Now the big question is whether there is any place of nationalism left in the Congress? Or the party has become an opaque institution that runs completely at the behest of ‘RRR’? Salman Khurshid has definitely solved a spark, now it remains to be seen whether this fire is made or smoke remains.
