Rahul Gandhi: Operation Sindoor Lasted 22 Minutes, Govt Revealed No Will to Fight Pakistan

During the Lok Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor, Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on the government, questioning its political will. Referring to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement, he highlighted that the operation lasted just 22 minutes, starting at 1:05 AM. By 1:35 AM, Gandhi claimed, India had already informed Pakistan through the DGMO that it had struck non-military targets and did not want escalation. He called it a shocking revelation, saying it signaled a lack of political will and urgency to end the action. Gandhi asked whether the government had undermined its own strategic message by requesting a ceasefire so quickly.
