India's Congress party says Modi govt 'misled' nation

India's Congress party President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said that the Modi government had “misled the nation” amidst the furore over the Indian top general’s admission of losing aircraft to Pakistan

- 

A day after a BJP politician and staunch critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Subrahmanyam Swamy, claimed Pakistan had downed five Indian planes in the recent military escalation, India’s Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan confirmed yesterday that his country’s fighter jets were downed by Pakistan but did not specify any number, The Dawn reported yesterday (31)

“The Modi govt has misled the nation. The fog of war is now clearing,” Kharge wrote in a post on X.

He said that in the wake of the remarks made by the Indian CDS in Singapore in an interview, there were some very important questions which needed to be asked.

“These can only be asked if a Special Session of the Parliament is immediately convened,” he said.
