Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 24 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Minister and BJP leader Danish Azad Ansari on Saturday criticised Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and said that the successs of Operation Sindoor has become a matter of 'worry' for the Congress.

'The success of Operation Sindoor has become a matter of worry for Congress. These kinds of statements are very unfortunate. Today, the valour and courage of the Indian Armed Forces are admired not only in India but across the world as well,' Ansari told ANI.

'The success of Operation Sindoor is a significant achievement that has enhanced the respect for our country and its armed forces. We express our gratitude to the Indian Army and to Prime Minister Modi for his leadership, as well as to the delegation visiting various countries to reveal the truth about the Pahalgam attack and expose terrorism and the nations supporting it,' he added.

On Friday, criticising the BJP-led NDA government, Rahul Gandhi said that India's foreign policy had 'collapsed'.

In a post on X, Gandhi raised three questions to the central government. 'Will JJ explain why India has been hyphenated with Pakistan? Why didn't a single country back us in condemning Pakistan? Who asked Trump to 'mediate' between India & Pakistan?' the LoP said.

Reposting a video of S Jaishankar's interview with a media outlet, he said, 'India's foreign policy has collapsed,' he added.

Earlier, Gandhi questioned External Affairs Minister Jaishankar, accusing him of being silent on how many aircraft the Indian Air Force lost during Operation Sindoor and said that the nation 'deserves the truth'.

'EAM Jaishankar's silence isn't just telling -- it's damning. So I'll ask again: How many Indian aircraft did we lose because Pakistan knew? This wasn't a lapse. It was a crime. And the nation deserves the truth,' Rahul Gandhi posted on X.

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 civilians dead. As part of the operation, Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, eliminating over 100 terrorists linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
