Jammu: Pakistan is running on the path of self-destruction, and if Pakistan does not change its policies, it will suffer badly, said Ravinder Raina.
Raina also made a scathing attack on Congress, advising its leader, Rahul Gandhi, to join the nation in celebrating the success of Operation Sindoor in hitting the roots of terrorism, instead of indulging in petty politics and backstabbing the nation.
He also accused the Congress, saying that terrorism and separatism are the outcome of its wrong policies.
Ravinder Raina, BJP National Executive Member, accompanied by former Minister Choudhury Zulfiqar Ali, was addressing a Press Conference at J&K BJP headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. BJP Office Secretary Tilak Raj Gupta, Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, and Library Incharge Kulbhushan Mohtra were also present on the occasion.
Ravinder Raina praised the Indian armed forces and the Narendra Modi-led government for the success of Operation Sindoor, which he claimed forced Pakistan into submission. He condemned the April 22 terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, calling it a “dastardly act,” and highlighted that Indian forces responded with strength by dismantling terrorist infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). He added that the Indian military also thwarted a Pakistani Army attack on Indian civilian areas, showcasing India’s strength to the world.
The world witnessed a new doctrine under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership that India will no longer tolerate any act of terrorism. Operation Sindoor not only delivered a crushing blow to terror infrastructure but also shattered Pakistan’s nuclear myth. Faced with India’s decisive action, Pakistan was left pleading to the international community for peace.
PM Modi also made it clear that Operation Sindoor is not complete yet, and any act of terror will be taken as an act of war.
India also salutes the bravery and the sacrifice of forces as well as the civilians who were affected or lost their lives.
Raina also welcomed the Central Government’s decision to keep the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, despite the agreement on a ceasefire. He stated that the Modi government has effectively cornered Pakistan, describing it as nothing less than a “surgical strike” on the neighbouring country. He further congratulated the nation on this diplomatic victory under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.
Raina criticised the Congress party, saying this is not the time for politics but a united fight against terrorism. He urged Congress to restrict political activities to election times and support the ongoing Tiranga Yatra, which he described as a movement driven by nationalism.
Raina targeted Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of questioning the government at a sensitive time and holding Congress responsible for fostering terrorism and separatism in the past. He said the nation would never forgive Congress for its betrayal.
India enjoys friendly ties with almost all countries across the globe, but Islamabad never supported the peace initiatives by India, and that is the reason Modi ji taught them what they understood well.
Operation Sindoor is just a trailer by our forces, and Modi and we are capable of showing them the whole picture, he added.
Ch. Zulfiqar Ali said that Modi government and Indian forces did what was actually needed. He said that to know the exact extent of damages and to connect with the affected people, the senior BJP leadership is visiting the shelling-affected people.
Pakistan’s indiscriminate shelling on civilian areas makes it clear that it has no love for people and only wants the land of J&K, he said and also accused Pakistan of hitting the religious areas of all religions.
Pakistan also adversely hit the livelihood of the innocent civilians by targeting the unsuspecting tourists, Ali said.
Choudhary requested the Union government for more individual and community bunkers for the border residents and to declare the damage caused by Pakistani shelling as a national emergency to ensure proper rehabilitation of the victims of cross-border shelling.
