Cong Needs To Show Maturity

Former Union Minister and Congress leader Salman Khurshid has expressed dismay over internal party opposition to all-party delegations sent abroad to garner global support for India’s Operation Sindoor.
In a post on X, Khurshid wrote, “When on mission against terrorism, to carry India’s message to the world, it’s distressing that people at home are calculating political allegiances. Is it so difficult to be patriotic?”
Khurshid is part of an all-party delegation, including senior Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari, and Anand Sharma, tasked with presenting India’s position on Operation Sindoor to various nations. However, the Congress party has criticized the composition of these delegations, particularly as the four leaders were selected without formal party approval.
The Congress Party criticizing its own leaders when they are on an important mission has evoked concern from all quarters as many believe that by doing so, the Congress Party is eroding the credibility of its own people.
Thius is an important juncture and Indian politicians have to put up a united face to project India’s stand against terrorism and expose Pakistan globally.
These leaders are not acting as party representatives but as Indians united in a critical diplomatic effort. Yet, rather than supporting them, the Congress party has questioned the legitimacy of their selection, citing a lack of formal approval. This internal rebuke not only confuses observers but also dilutes the strength of India’s collective voice on the international stage.
Such political infighting at a crucial moment is not just unfortunate—it is dangerous. The world watches closely when democratic nations make their case against terrorism. Any sign of internal disunity gives adversaries room to question the credibility and resolve of that nation’s stance. For India, this is particularly significant as it seeks to rally international support to hold Pakistan accountable for cross-border terrorism. Divided political messaging undercuts the efforts of the delegation and plays into the hands of those who wish to blur the lines between victim and aggressor.
The Congress party must introspect. In criticizing its own leaders during a time of diplomatic outreach, it risks not only undermining the mission but also demoralizing its most capable voices. The party must realize that in issues of national security, especially when lives are at stake and international perception is critical, internal grievances should take a back seat to national solidarity.
The path ahead demands maturity, statesmanship, and above all, unity. Political disagreements are natural and even healthy in a democracy. But when the nation is under threat and when its representatives are advocating its cause globally, every Indian political party must rise above internal politics.
