As the all-party delegations return from their global outreach following Operation Sindoor, the Congress finds itself in a political dilemma, with contradictory voices within the party raising concerns over its stance in Parliament.
Congress vs. Congress? Internal Rift Over Operation Sindoor
While Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge are preparing to question the Modi government on issues like the Pahalgam terror attack investigation and US mediation in the ceasefire, senior Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor, Salman Khurshid, and Manish Tewari—who were part of the all-party delegations abroad—have dismissed the possibility of US involvement, contradicting the party’s official narrative.
Government’s Strategic Move & Opposition’s Challenge
The multi-party delegations, which included Congress leaders, have strengthened India’s diplomatic position, making it harder for the opposition to challenge the government’s handling of Operation Sindoor. Analysts suggest that the Congress leadership’s conflicting statements could weaken its attack on the Modi government in the upcoming Parliament session.
Congress’ Demand for Special Session & Political Fallout
Despite the internal divide, Congress continues to demand a special session of Parliament to discuss the Pahalgam attack and India’s military response. However, the government’s successful diplomatic outreach has put the opposition in a tough spot, with some Congress leaders now aligning with the government’s stance.
Future Implications & Political Strategy
With Operation Sindoor becoming a key election issue, the Congress must resolve its internal contradictions to present a unified front in Parliament. The government’s move to include opposition leaders in its diplomatic efforts has complicated the opposition’s strategy, raising questions about Congress’ leadership and unity.
