Questions Arise as Congress Raises Concerns Over PM's Decision to Halt 'Operation Sindoor'

Air Chief Marshal Amarpreet Singh's recent revelations regarding 'Operation Sindoor' have sparked controversy, with the Congress party questioning the Prime Minister's decision to halt the operation. Singh stated that Pakistan was on the verge of defeat during the operation, with the Indian Air Force having shot down five Pakistani fighter jets. This action delivered a strong message to Pakistan, leading to a ceasefire. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh expressed surprise at the Prime Minister's sudden decision to halt the operation on May 10, questioning the source of pressure and the reasons for the swift halt. The Congress has previously raised concerns about the operation's cessation, suggesting that it was due to intervention from then-US President Donald Trump. The party claims that Trump's involvement led to the Prime Minister's decision to halt the operation, a claim that has led to significant debate in both houses of parliament.
