On Monday, Rahul Gandhi reiterated his accusations that India remained silent about the loss of assets during Operation Sindoor, calling it a "crime" to have informed Pakistan in advance. He referenced comments made by Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar. Following Rahul Gandhi's remark, Congress leader Pawan Khera held a press conference, labeling the BJP as "Sindoor ka saudagar" while playing a video of Jaishankar’s statement.

00:00Yes, this is the latest attack coming in from the Congress on Operation Sindhoor,
00:09the Sindhoor-ka-saudha attack on the Modi government,
00:12where the Congress has made yet another big attack on the operation.
00:20Rahul Gandhi has claimed that EM S. Jai Shankar had tipped off Pakistan.
00:24Rahul Gandhi has gone on to say that India lost jets due to EAM.
00:32While he has raised this question, the Congress has said that the Modi government's silence on Sindhoor-ka-saudha is questionable.
00:39That latest soundbite coming in from Pawan Khera. Let's listen in.
01:12This is a very dangerous comment coming from the American President Donald Trump that he threatened India, that he'll stop trade with India if the war doesn't stop.
01:28This is a very dangerous comment.
01:46This is a very dangerous comment from Modi, Jai Shankar, or Bhajapa and other leaders of the United States.
02:00When you open the mouth of America, when you open the mouth of China, you open the mouth for clean chit, and you don't open the mouth.
02:09And Mr. Tom Vadakkan now joining us on the phone line this afternoon.
02:13Very good afternoon to you, Mr. Vadakkan. The Congress at it again.
02:17They did the same during the surgical strike, then during Balakot, and now one after the other.
02:23Such comments coming in on Operation Sindhur.
02:25As much as it has been clarified that due protocol was followed, but the Congress is not backing down.
02:32This is a frustrated Congress party speaking through its spokesman.
02:37This is the tradition of the Congress party.
02:40They start saying that they're on the same page with the government of India.
02:44Then they start creating a situation where they want to create their narrator supported by Soros and Company and the deep state.
02:52So this is something that must be acted upon.
02:56This is something when they call names to our external affairs minister, to the army, and they say that there is some deep secret.
03:05What is the secret? We destroyed them in 23 minutes.
03:09What is the Congress party talking about?
03:12And if the Congress party is talking about some assets, they are the biggest assets for the Pakistani army and the Pakistanis.
03:21Let that be very clear.
03:23Their leaders are quoted across Pakistan as an example of anti-Indian positions.
03:31If that is a position that Pakistan has been taking, we should act strictly against these spokesmen and the Congress party members who speak the language that Pakistan likes, Pakistan adores, and frame those as evidences against India.
03:50Let that be very clear.
03:52Let that be very clear.
03:53If any party is anti-India, people of India are going to reject them.
03:57From time to time, the same thing is happening.
04:02Oh, yes, absolutely.
04:07I want to thank you for speaking to us this afternoon as I'd also like to welcome Mr. Manikam Tagore joining us on the phone line.
04:15Mr. Tagore, why is it that the Congress continues to levy these sort of allegations on what grounds?
04:21Because fact also remains that these sort of statements provide fodder to Pakistan.
04:30Good afternoon.
04:31But it is not right to say that when you are asking, when the leader of opposition is asking about a video evidence of the external affairs minister, Mr. Jay Shankar, saying that they are informed Pakistan before the operation, which is just leaking out the paper before the examination itself.
04:54And they have done this kind of information being passed to Pakistan.
04:59It's a crime, and we should not deal like that.
05:03And the leader of opposition has asked very clearly that because of that information, how many planes of our efforts have been damaged?
05:13Because of the prior information to the Pakistan.
05:17These questions need answers.
05:19And the operation, the Kundur was a great job done by the aircraft and the army, and we all supported it all alone.
05:28We have to ask the question because the external affairs minister himself has stated that they are informed it.
05:37Giving prior information to the Pakistan is unacceptable, and we would leave that out.
05:42Because we are a party, we are a party which is fought for the independence of this country, fought against the Britishers.
05:49We know that RSS and BJP's grandfathers have been informers to the British in the previous time when the Britishers were ruling.
05:58They were informing the Britishers.
06:01That information, making the information to the Britishers was an act by the RSS and their people in that time also.
06:10Now also they are repeating the same thing.
06:12And we won't leave it.
06:13And the leader of opposition has clearly stated that he has asked again today that these answers and these questions are to be answered by the government.
06:21They have answered.
06:24But let's not forget that the MEA has rejected these claims that India informed Pakistan before launching Operation Sindhur.
06:33In fact, this clarification that has also come.
06:35Rahul Gandhi has, of course, taken that clip and put it on social media, making such allegations, but the government of India has rejected it.
06:44The government spokesperson has rejected it or the EEM, the General Affairs Minister has rejected it or the Prime Minister has rejected it?
06:54The leader of opposition has asked the question.
06:57He has asked the question with a video evidence.
07:00And why the General Affairs Minister is silent?
07:05Why Prime Minister is silent?
07:07The leader of opposition is asking, the Prime Minister must answer.
07:10Just asking some spokesperson to speak about it that you deny it.
07:15That doesn't show that level of parliamentary democracy.
07:20When Trump for four times repeated that he has only involved in the ceasefire, Mr Modi is keeping Maun over her.
07:27Still not now.
07:29I'd only like to remind you that, okay, please go ahead, make your point.
07:32We have to understand that when political leadership, the leader of opposition is asking, he has given a video evidence.
07:39He has asked that why the statement of Jay Shankar is the problem now.
07:44That only has exposed.
07:45We have not invented anything.
07:47It is the statement of Mr Jay Shankar, who is the minister in the cabinet of Mr Modi, has made this issue a bigger issue.
07:54Therefore, we are asking valid questions.
07:56Media should allow that question to be amplified and you should ask the government to answer about it.
08:01Not reverse that, asking the opposition why you are asking to make other things happen.
08:11That's not fair.
08:12In my view, media as India today is a traditional popular channel.
08:17You should ask the government why this external affairs minister has done like this.
08:23What is the explanation from his part?
08:25He has to explain it.
08:26He has to explain to the leader of opposition.
08:28He has to explain to the country also.
08:30We are asking the country to be explained by the external affairs minister.
08:35Fair enough.
08:36I want to thank you for your time and of course making your point.
08:38But I'd also like to remind our viewers that the MEA has clarified that Mr Jay Shankar's comment has been misinterpreted
08:45and that the message to Pakistan was sent after the operation had already begun.
08:50On that note, we once again listen in to this latest statement from Pawan Kheda.
08:54From the comment we began to understand that we had left Myth of Tonson and the people,
08:59who created the Federal-conference, the ones who left us land by means and lost the land by means and the other countries.
09:04We were told that it was the economicią, that the United States, the United States, the government of Tonson and one of them,
09:08the United States had been made known as the British Government of Tonson and one of those countries.

10:17and cutting across to rahul gautam
10:22now joining us on the broadcast
10:24rahul
10:24while the congress continues to make such statements
10:27they are saying that the government of India must come clear
10:30on that statement of external affairs minister dr. S. Jai Shankar
10:34as much as the MEA has clarified that his statement
10:37has been misread and the information was only provided to Pakistan after the operation begun
10:42what more are you picking up?
10:43well this is a question that was asked to Pawan Kheda himself
10:52you know while he was repressing this press conference
10:55and at that point of time he said that
10:57yes we know that the PIB fact check team
11:00has done a fact check on this
11:02you know particular video
11:04and has said that this
11:05this claim that
11:06that Mr. Jai Shankar had
11:09you know had forewarned
11:11or had given a warning to Pakistan authorities
11:13is a misleading one to which Pawan Kheda said
11:16that maybe this implies that
11:19that the government is not owning
11:21what Mr. Jai Shankar has said
11:23so clearly it seems that
11:25as far as congress is concerned
11:27they are trying to conger
11:28you know S. Jai Shankar
11:30the external affairs minister
11:31on this issue
11:32saying that
11:33A. we have not got any
11:35you know major countries
11:36support
11:37at the time of war like situation
11:39between India and Pakistan
11:40and second
11:41as you know
11:43as they are saying
11:44as they are alleging
11:44that Mr. Jai Shankar
11:46himself had allegedly sent a message
11:48across the border
11:49to Pakistani authorities
11:49that we are going to strike
11:50you know
11:51terror infrastructure
11:52which in a way
11:53you know
11:54gave a hint
11:55to Pakistan authorities
11:57to vacate those premises
11:58and to
11:58take out
11:59you know
12:01suspected terrorists
12:02from these
12:02terror launch pads
12:04so clearly
12:04as far as congress is concerned
12:06they are trying to exert pressure
12:08on S. Jai Shankar
12:09putting the
12:10putting the onus on him
12:11clearly
12:12and also
12:13in a way
12:14trying to create this narrative
12:16that
12:16what had happened
12:17you know
12:18just a few days back
12:19was a complete blunder
12:20or a diplomatic mistake
12:22on the part of
12:23S. Jai Shankar
12:23and it only means that
12:25they are going to increase the heat
12:26because they are also
12:27you know
12:28quoting Donald Trump
12:29saying that
12:30it was Donald Trump
12:31who had threatened India
12:32that he is going to stop
12:34trade with India
12:35if they are not going to
12:36mediate for ceasefire
12:38so as far as congress is concerned
12:39they are trying to
12:40corner S. Jai Shankar
12:41on this issue
12:42and obviously you can expect
12:43that they will be
12:44keep on increasing heat
12:45in coming days
12:46so as
12:48you can expect
12:49to see
