'Saboot gang not happy with what India achieved': BJP's Sambit Patra slams Congress leaders for remarks post-Operation Sindoor

A day after it accused Congress communications in-charge Jairam Ramesh of putting terrorists and Members of Parliament in the same category, the BJP launched an attack on the party for allegedly bringing down the morale of the Indian armed forces and common citizens on multiple occasions.

BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra, quoting news articles acknowledging the might of India's retaliation against Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, accused the Congress of being a “saboot gang” in cahoots with Pakistan. "In this climate, it is painful that there are political parties and especially the Congress who, in the beginning, said they are standing with the nation and with the government but they did not actually stand by either for a single day. From day one, Rahul Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh and several of their leaders, including Robert Vadra and the entire Congress leadership, have raised questions regarding the Indian Army and its valour," Patra alleged. "This saboot gang is not happy at what India has been able to achieve (in Operation Sindoor)...just think about it: Jairam Ramesh, who is the right-hand man of the Gandhi family, makes a statement that terrorists are roaming around here, MPs are roaming around there (in foreign countries). In one breath, you have put terrorists and MPs in the same category?" he asked.
