BJP's 'Saboot gang' jab at Congress leaders

The BJP hit out at the Congress for the remarks made by some of its leaders on Operation Sindoor, calling the Opposition party a 'Saboot gang' which is trying to demoralise the Indian forces, undermining India's position following the recent Pahalgam attack.

Launching a fresh attack on the Congress over Telangana CM Revanth Reddy's remarks on how many Rafale jets were downed during Op Sindoor, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said, "Yeh jo Pakistan ke Babbar hain, woh Hindustan ke Gabbar hain". Addressing a press conference on Friday, Patra wanted to know why Rahul Gandhi, Reddy and Jairam Ramesh were not asking Pakistan how many of their air bases were destroyed or terrorists were killed by India, but were more curious to know many Indian planes have been downed by Pakistan. "Congress, the saboot gang, is not happy at what India has been able to achieve," Patra said, adding that Ramesh has put terrorists and MPs in the same category. Patra mentioned that there are two factions in Congress now: One which supports Pakistan and the other which wants to raise their voice but cannot do it because of Gandhi. Patra acknowledged that Congress MPs were among the delegates visiting global capitals to present India's stance following the Pahalgam attack. While commending their efforts, he condemned Ramesh's comparison as irresponsible.
