Air Chief Marshal’s Statement Fuels Congress Inquiry into ‘Operation Sindoor’ Halt

Air Chief Marshal Amarpreet Singh’s statements regarding ‘Operation Sindoor’ have drawn the attention of the Congress party, prompting them to question the actions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Singh revealed that the operation pushed Pakistan to the brink, with the Indian Air Force successfully taking down five Pakistani fighter jets. This aggressive response aimed to send a strong message, forcing Pakistan to agree to a ceasefire. Jairam Ramesh of the Congress has raised questions about why the Prime Minister chose to halt the operation on May 10, asking where the pressure came from. This line of inquiry follows previous allegations from the Congress and other opposition parties, who claim that the operation was stopped because of the involvement of then-US President Donald Trump.
