Centre Rejects Misrepresentation of Rajnath Singh's Parliament Address on Operation Sindoor
The ministry said Rajnath Singh was addressing false claims about Indian Air Force deaths, while Congress accused the government of concealing six fatalities.
- On Saturday, the Defence Ministry rejected accusations that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh misled Parliament regarding Operation Sindoor, asserting his remarks were "selectively quoted" and stripped of context.
- Opposition leaders, including Manish Tewari, questioned Singh's July 28, 2025, speech after the government publicly disclosed six military personnel killed during the operation earlier this month.
- Singh's remarks during a 16-hour discussion were intended to counter a false narrative claiming Indian Air Force pilots were lost, the ministry said, not to deny that soldiers were harmed.
- Six personnel, including Subedar Major Pawan Kumar and Air Force Sergeant Surendra Kumar, have been honoured at the National War Memorial, with welfare measures extended to their families.
- During Operation Sindoor, more than 100 terrorists and Pakistani soldiers were neutralized, while significant infrastructure damage was inflicted on Pakistani air bases and deployments along the Line of Control.
