Modi’s Veins Burn Hot Again with Sindoor, But He Still Won’t Say Why He Bowed Before Trump — and Declared a Ceasefire!
Why Was the Nation Lied to — from Parliament to the Streets — About “Operation Sindoor”?
Townhall Times | New Delhi | October 8, 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains the consummate political tactician — a man who thrives on unsettling his opponents and constantly asserting, “They are wrong, I am right.” Yet in this relentless pursuit of dominance, he seems to forget his own long trail of missteps — how many times he has lowered India’s dignity on global stages, and how often he has misled the nation with half-truths and theatrics. For many, deception has now become Modi’s political identity.
On Wednesday, Modi once again launched a verbal offensive against the Congress during the inauguration of the Navi Mumbai International Airport. The event was meant to celebrate infrastructure, yet Modi turned it into a political battlefield, invoking the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
He accused the then-Congress government of failing to strike Pakistan even though the Indian Army was fully prepared. “Who stopped the army from attacking Pakistan?” he thundered. “Under whose pressure was the military pulled back?”
Modi’s remarks were a reaction to former Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s recent interview, in which Chidambaram admitted that he had wanted to punish Pakistan but refrained under American pressure. Modi seized on this confession, branding the Congress “cowardly” and “anti-national in mindset.”
Yet Modi himself offered no explanation as to why he bowed before Donald Trump’s call and abruptly announced a ceasefire. Nor did he clarify what the truth was behind “Operation Sindoor,” the much-hyped secret mission that his own government glorified in Parliament and on television. When journalists pressed for details, BJP leaders issued conflicting statements, deepening public confusion.
Attacking Congress has long been Modi’s comfort zone — but evading accountability has become his art. If Congress once yielded to U.S. pressure, then Modi’s government did precisely the same. The only difference is that back then, power rested in Sonia Gandhi’s hands, and today, it rests in Modi’s.
In the end, one truth stands out — Modi remains unmatched when it comes to election-time theatrics and opposition bashing, but when the questions turn toward his own foreign policy or U.S. relations, that thunderous voice suddenly grows faint.
