‘The prime minister has printed his image on railway tickets. The country would not forget Pahalgam and the missed chance to seize Pakistan-occupied Kashmir’
NEW DELHI – Launching a stinging attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said he was in a self-promotional campaign, taking all the credit for the post-Pahalgam Operation Sindoor.
While families of women who lost their sindoor in Pahalgam remain in mourning and the terrorists are still at large, Modi is busy branding himself as ‘Sindoor ka Saudagar,’ senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh alleged.
He said the prime minister even printed his image on railway tickets and added that the country would not forget Pahalgam and the missed chance to seize Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters here, Sanjay Singh stated, “Long ago, a film called ‘Saudagar’ was released, starring Dilip Kumar and Raj Kumar. It was a widely talked-about movie. On Thursday, a new film was released in which the hero, the villain, and the comedian are all PM Narendra Modi.” The name of this film is ‘Sindoor ka Saudagar,’ he said.
“On Thursday, PM Modi claimed that hot sindoor flows through his veins. In Pahalgam, sindoor was wiped out from the foreheads of our sisters, and mourning still fills their homes — yet the prime minister is busy with his political publicity,” Singh said.
Criticising Modi for using the tragedy as a PR while terrorists remain at large, Singh further stated, “In the all-party meeting, the BJP-led Union government declared that Operation Sindoor is ongoing. Yet, the savage terrorists who desecrated the sindoor of our sisters in Pahalgam have still not been nabbed. Despite this, Modi, with lights, camera, and action, turned himself into the Sindoor ka Saudagar and released the film.”
He pointed out that while mourning engulfs the homes of those women, Modi is busy plastering his photos across the country.
“Can Prime Minister Narendra Modi tell the nation what position he holds in the military? Is he a Colonel, a Brigadier, or the Chief of the Army? PM Modi is only interested in marketing, and his people are printing posters all across the nation,” he added.
Singh added that it is shameful that even before Operation Sindoor’s conclusion, Modi has printed his photos on railway tickets under the Operation Sindoor label and launched his publicity campaign.
“Where does the prime minister get such cruelty from? What drives his obsession to turn every incident into electoral gain? Twenty-six people were killed in Pahalgam, the sindoor of our sisters was desecrated, and while all parties were attending the all-party meeting, Narendra Modi skipped it to campaign at a rally in Bihar,” he said.
“Narendra Modi found time to campaign in Bihar, address Bollywood stars in Mumbai, attend a ceremony in Kerala where he made light-hearted and humorous remarks, and inaugurate projects in Andhra Pradesh. But he didn’t have time to attend the second all-party meeting after Operation Sindoor,” Singh said.
The Rajya Sabha MP shared the latest edition of such happenings. “On Thursday, PM Modi crossed all limits when he said in a campaign rally that hot sindoor runs through his body. Operation Sindoor is not over, those brutal terrorists have not yet been caught, and the entire nation is demanding answers from PM Modi — where are the terrorists?”
“Narendra Modi claims that the Indian Army courageously destroyed nine camps, killed over 100 terrorists and their aides, and delivered a strong reply to Pakistan’s attack. But when there was a real opportunity to capture PoK and, like Bangladesh, separate Balochistan from Pakistan, Modi declared a ceasefire on the instructions of US President Donald Trump and stopped the battle,” he asked.
Singh stated that President Trump publicly claimed five times that he halted the India-Pakistan conflict by threatening to cut off trade. Did Narendra Modi take this decision at President Trump’s request? And why has he not refuted his statements?
The AAP leader wondered whether President Trump now decides the fate of India’s self-respect, dignity, and sovereignty. Will he decide the future of the Indian Army? Singh asked.
President Trump claimed that he threatened a trade shutdown, but India is home to 1.44 billion consumers, the world’s largest democracy, and the fifth-largest economy—should we be afraid of such threats? Why hasn’t Narendra Modi responded to any of these questions? he asked.
Singh appealed to the people of India not to forget the sindoor that was wiped away from the foreheads of our sisters in Pahalgam. “Do not forget that, according to President Trump’s claim, Narendra Modi missed the opportunity to take PoK and separate Balochistan just to avoid a trade fallout. Do not forget this betrayal,” he said.
