Congress dares Modi: “Show 35 Rafale jets if none have crashed”

Congress MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla has issued a direct challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to publicly display all 35 Rafale fighter jets to prove that none were destroyed during Operation Sindoor.

Speaking to the media, Aujla stated that it is imperative for the Indian government to assure both the Indian public and the international community that the Rafale fleet suffered no losses. “If the government truly stands by its claims, it should have no hesitation in presenting all 35 Rafale jets in a parade to dispel all doubts and suspicions,” he said.

"PM Modi must parade all 35 Rafale jets, show world that not a single jet was shot down during Operation Sindoor."

Aujla also referred to a recent statement by former U.S. President Donald Trump, in which he reportedly claimed that Pakistan had downed five French-made Rafale jets during Operation Sindoor. According to Aujla, such remarks cast serious doubts on the Indian government’s narrative and make it essential to bring the facts to light.

He emphasized that transparency is the only way to counter misinformation and reaffirm the credibility of India’s defense capabilities.

On the other side, Former Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram has said that there is no evidence of Pakistan’s involvement in the Pahalgam terrorist attack; the attackers were Indian nationals.
