Pawan Khed said, ‘Sacrifice of 6 soldiers in Operation Sindoor…’ referring to Rajnath Singh’s old speech.

Congress on Saturday (27 June 2026) alleged that the soldiers were insulted by hiding information about the sacrifice of 6 soldiers during Operation Sindoor and the country’s Parliament was also misled on this subject. Party’s media department head Pawan Khera shared on ‘X’ a video of a part of the speech given by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in the Lok Sabha during the monsoon session last year, in which Singh can be heard saying that there was no loss to the brave soldiers of the country during ‘Operation Sindoor’.

In fact, the names of 6 military personnel who were martyred in the line of duty during Operation Sindoor last year have been inscribed on the National War Memorial. These military personnel include the names of 5 Army personnel and 1 Indian Air Force personnel. This is the first time after the military operation conducted by the Indian Armed Forces in May 2025, that the government has released the names of these six personnel.

Defense Minister does not know the truth – Pawan Kheda

Kheda said, ‘There are only two possibilities. Either when the Defense Minister addressed the Parliament, he was not aware that 6 soldiers had been martyred. If so, then it is a serious question mark on the minister, who is not aware of the affairs of the very ministry he is leading. He said the second possibility was that Singh knew the truth and yet chose to mislead Parliament. According to Kheda, this is even more serious than that, because it proves that this government lies to the country, under oath, in the temple of democracy.

There are only two possibilities.
