Jammu, Sep 17: BJP national General Secretary Tarun Chugh Wednesday said that the "belated admission by Jaish-e-Mohammad about the devastating impact of Operation Sindoor" was the strongest proof of India's decisive counter-terror capability.

"In May 2025, our brave armed forces demolished Jaish's Bahawalpur headquarters, eliminated over a hundred dreaded terrorists including Kandahar hijackers and struck at the very roots of Masood Azhar's empire.

Today, even Jaish commanders are on record acknowledging their losses," Chugh said.

In a press statement, he hit out sharply at the Congress alliance and its leader Rahul Gandhi, reminding how they questioned the success of Operation Sindoor just as they once cast aspersions on the surgical strikes and Balakot airstrikes. "This is a consistent pattern -- our forces write history with blood and courage, and Rahul Gandhi tries to erase it with doubt and dishonor. The nation will never forgive such betrayal," Chugh said. From the surgical strikes of 2016 to the Balakot airstrikes in 2019, and now Operation Sindoor in 2025, India's armed forces wrote a saga of unmatched bravery. Each time, while the world acknowledged India's right to defend itself, Congress leaders tried to plant seeds of doubt and spoke in the very language that Pakistan used to discredit our victories, BJP national general secretary said.

"This duplicity is not just politics -- it is an insult to every soldier who risks his life for the tricolour," Chugh said, adding that history would remember those operations as milestones of India's rise, while it would remember Rahul Gandhi's comments as footnotes of shame.
