You are the world guru, why is no country behind you?', Sawant shakes up the Lok Sabha

New Delhi: A discussion is going on in the Lok Sabha on Operation Sindoor. Shiv Sena Thackeray MP Arvind Sawant gave a strong speech on this occasion. He took the government to task and said that you consider yourself a world guru. But he asked a tough question, why did no country stand by your side during Operation Sindoor. Countries like China and Turkey openly rushed to help Pakistan. They were given drones. He also asked the government in the Lok Sabha why no country came to the war on the side of India. On this occasion, Sawant raised many questions and took the government to task. When Operation Sindoor was started, even the countries around us did not talk to us. Our Prime Minister has visited 200 countries. He calls himself a world guru. But he attacked the government by saying that he is a world guru only in name. You have traveled so much around the world but not a single country came with you. He said that there is a need to think about why they did not come. You sided with Israel. At the same time, you opposed Iran. Iran, which tells you to give oil first and then pay, has now distanced itself from you. This is your foreign policy, he said, underlining that India did not get help from any country in the world during Operation Sindoor.
Whatever feats were done in Operation Sindoor, our army did. Therefore, he said, we bow to the Indian army. Operation Sindoor happened. But the real question is why it happened, he said. This operation happened because the Pahalgam incident had happened before that. I was a minister. I had visited Kashmir at that time. At that time, armed soldiers were deployed in Kashmir. But at that time, not a single soldier was in Pahalgam. What happened, there were no soldiers in Pahalgam that day. There were no police. He raised this question on this occasion. A large number of tourists had come to Pahalgam. But the police were not located there. The police will not stay there. Who gave the order that the soldiers would not be deployed there? He should have been investigated. Sawant said that the real start should have been made with this investigation. There were no soldiers. There were no police. Where was our intelligence? He also asked. How far is Pakistan from there. Did the terrorists who came there come from Nepal? He also asked. What happened during Pulwama? The then Governor was constantly telling the government. But no attention was paid at that time. The Governor wanted to talk to the Prime Minister. But at that time he was busy in Corbett Park. 40 soldiers were martyred in Pulwama. Sawant also asked how many of those who attacked were caught.
You are only raising an emotional issue. You have also given an emotional name. Operation Sindoor. Whose vermilion was wiped off. How many of those who wiped off this vermilion were caught. And you are beating drums. You are making political speeches in Bihar. You went to Bihar for campaigning but you could not go to Pahalgam. You have not even gone to Manipur. You should be ashamed of this, Sawant attacked the government. Yet you are beating the drums. We will beat the drums but we will beat the drums of the Indian Army, he said. What bravery you showed in Operation Sindoor. You gave complete freedom to the army. This is true, but why did you take away their freedom? On whose orders did you take away their freedom, he asked. You claim that Pakistani officials were begging us. If they were begging for a ceasefire, why did you unconditionally withdraw? How come there were attacks on civilian settlements in Jammu even after the ceasefire. Trump was making rounds there every day. I stopped the war. Then why is it true, he asked.
Operation Vijay was successful in Kargil. But after that, incidents like Galwan and Doklam had happened. China is entering the border line. Who helped Pakistan during Operation Sindoor? China and Turkey were openly helping them. Therefore, we need to introspect. How did Pakistan get international funds during the war? The world should understand the position of our country in the world from that, he said. After Operation Sindoor, we sent teams to the world. How much respect did we get in that? How many press conferences were held together, he said, all of this failed.
Even after that, what does our Chief of Defense Staff say? There is a need to become self-reliant. Everything is becoming clear in that. That means we are not perfect. This is not something to criticize. But his statement needs to be taken seriously. You went to meet Nawab Sharif. You are an uninvited guest. Balasaheb had opposed the Samjhauta Express. He had said that Pakistan is a snake. They retaliate and strike back, now that is exactly what has happened, Sawant said. Now you are talking about peace and power. Earlier you were making allegations that you would capture PoK. I will stay with PoK. That was the time. Why did you P
