Jammu, May 30: Senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta has strongly condemned the Congress party for equating Members of Parliament, currently on an international mission as part of Operation Sindoor to expose Pakistan’s terror agenda, with terrorists. Terming the remarks "highly irresponsible and disgraceful," he demanded strict action and an unconditional apology from the Congress leadership.
Reacting sharply to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh’s controversial statement — wherein he likened the elected MPs participating in all-party delegations abroad to terrorists — Kavinder said, "It is shocking and utterly shameful that a senior leader of a national party has stooped so low as to draw such outrageous comparisons. These MPs are representing India’s interests on foreign soil, unmasking Pakistan’s state-sponsored terrorism, and yet the Congress finds fault in their patriotism."
Kavinder asserted that such statements insult the democratic mandate of the elected representatives. “This isn’t just an insult to the MPs — it’s an insult to the people of India who sent them to Parliament. Equating them with terrorists is not just slanderous, it borders on anti-national rhetoric,” he added.
He further accused the Congress of playing petty politics at the cost of national interest, urging the party to clarify its stand on India’s fight against terrorism. “Congress must make it clear whether they stand with India or with the narrative being pushed by Pakistan,” he said.
Calling for strict action, Kavinder appealed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the Election Commission to take cognizance of the statement. “We cannot allow such reckless remarks to go unchecked. There must be accountability for language that demeans national duty and endangers India's global standing.”
The former deputy Chief Minister reaffirmed the BJP’s commitment to exposing Pakistan’s duplicity on the global stage and standing united in defense of India’s sovereignty and dignity.
