After the Punjab cabinet meeting on Tuesday, CM Mann alleged that BJP workers are distributing sindoor (vermillion) to households following the success of Operation Sindoor. “This is very sad. Sindoor is being mocked. Didn’t you see? BJP is seeking votes in the name of Operation Sindoor. They are sending sindoor to every home. Which man will ask his wife to apply ‘sindoor’ in (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi’s name? Is this a ‘one nation, one husband’ scheme.
The workers of DOGRA FRONT & SHIV SENA under the leadership of president Mr ASHOK GUPTA took out a rally in Jammu city against the derogatory statement of Bhagwant Mann.
The party workers burned the effigy of Bhagwant Mann shouting slogans Bhagwant Mann hai hai.
BJP denied launching any such drive.
The name Operation Sindoor was used because terrorists were killing Hindus after checking their religion — sindoor was a marker they used to identify women. This operation was about terrorism, martyrdom, and the protection of Indian lives. A man who mocks the Indian Army, insults Veer Naris, and turns every sacred symbol into a joke will never understand the value of sindoor, which carries sacrifice, love and devotion.
The Punjab Chief Minister was a comedian before joining politics. He wants to do comedy in politics, too. Such issues should be taken seriously and should not be mocked, Mr Gupta said.
On May 7, India launched Operation Sindoor as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists in which 26 people were killed. Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
At last he said that the Punjab CM should apologise to the nation for such remarks.
The party people who were present at the time of protest were Abhishek, Bantu, Prem, Sushil, Ashok, Sampuran, Ganesh, Kalu, Narehs, Vinay, Sachin, Aman and various others were present.
