‘End Operation Sindoor and hold talks with Pakistan’ says Congress’ Pakistan-enthusiast leader Mani Shankar Aiyar

New Delhi – India should immediately stop ‘Operation Sindoor’ and initiate talks with Pakistan without any delay, stated Congress’s Pakistan-friendly leader and former Union Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar. The Bharatiya Janata Party has strongly criticised the statement.

“Stop Operation Sindoor, talk to Pakistan!” – yet another pro-Pakistan rant by Mani Shankar Aiyar of the Indian National Congress.

Given his long record of echoing Pakistan’s line, many patriots ask: why isn’t a treason case filed already?

Congress has turned into the ‘Islamabad National Congress’, says BJP

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said that Congress has effectively become the ‘Islamabad National Congress’. He alleged that Congress repeatedly absolves Pakistan of blame and opposes strong action against terrorism. According to him, Congress has earned the identity of ‘Pakistan is my brother, insult the Indian Army’.

Everyone has the right to express their opinion’ says CPI(M)

Leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Hannan Mollah, reacting to Aiyar’s statement, said that it was a rational opinion. Everyone has the right to express their views. This is his opinion. If there is merit in it, people will accept it; if not, people will reject it. ( Since the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has always displayed an anti-India mindset, many now believe that it is necessary to impose a ban on such a party.-Editor )

Editorial Perspective

Given Mani Shankar’s long history of Pakistan-friendly positions, many nationalists believe he should have been in prison long ago. Patriots think that a case of treason should be registered against him and he should be sentenced to life imprisonment.
