Former Union Minister Subramanian Swamy, who is known to be a PM Modi critic, used sharp words to criticise PM Modi a day after his almost two-hour-long speech in Lok Sabha on Tuesday during the debate on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack.
Taking to X, Swamy wrote, "Modi is clearly a mental pigmy. After sending soldiers and a few jets (mostly those bought from France), he called off India’s invasion. Why? Has Pakistan surrendered? With US and China supporting Pakistan (both have given Pak their latest planes) and telling Modi to back off, he chickened and withdrew giving us gullible Indians cock and bull story."
"The least he could have done idk liberate Baluchistan like Bangladesh was. I am ready to debate a set up by independent intellectuals who must first state their stand on what their position is," he added.
Yesterday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi questioned the government's "political will" to strike at Pakistan and said, "We can't afford a PM who lacks the courage to utilize the Army or guts to call Trump a liar."
"We need a PM who gives the freedom to the Army to 'finish the job', like Indira Gandhi did," he added.
Swamy, in an X post, busted Rahul Gandhi's claim and said Indira Gandhi did not want the army to enter Dhaka.
"It is wrong to claim that Mrs Gandhi in 1971 wanted the Indian Army to liberate Bangladesh from Pakistan. Rubbish. Mrs Gandhi ordered C in C Manekshah to order Major General Jacob ( Indian Jew) not to enter Dacca. But General Jacob (Bombay Jew) ignored it and went in and arrested Pak Gen Niazi. While India cheered, Mrs G then ordered action against Gen Jacob. But he was cleared because he claimed that Teleprinter was not working. Later Janata Govertment decorated him," he said.
