BJP, Congress Engage In Rahul-Munir Vs Modi-Sharif Poster War As Both Parties Accuse Each Other Of Pak Links
A war of posters erupted on Tuesday between Congress and BJP, with both parties accusing each other's top leadership of links with Pakistani figures.
The BJP's Information Department head, Amit Malviya, drew a comparison between Rahul Gandhi and Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir, while the Bihar Congress responded by likening Prime Minister Narendra Modi to former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Malviya took to social media to post a graphic placing Rahul Gandhi alongside Asim Munir, with the words "One Agenda" emblazoned across it.
"What's next for Rahul Gandhi? The Nishan-e-Pakistan?" he wrote in the caption.
Malviya went on to accuse Gandhi of echoing Pakistani narratives, claiming this was not unexpected.
"He hasn't congratulated the Prime Minister on the flawless Operation Sindoor, which unmistakably showcases India's dominance. Instead, he repeatedly asks how many jets we lost-a question that has already been addressed in the DGMO briefings. Curiously, he hasn't once inquired about how many Pakistani jets were shot down during the conflict, or how many were destroyed while parked in their hangars when Indian forces pounded Pakistani airbases," he wrote on X.
In retaliation, the Bihar Congress shared a similar visual, juxtaposing Prime Minister Modi with Nawaz Sharif, bearing the word "Biryani".
They captioned the post, "Ek biryani desh par bhari."
This exchange of posters comes amid the opposition's persistent questioning of Operation Sindoor and the purported involvement of US President Donald Trump in the subsequent India-Pakistan ceasefire.
Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, has reiterated his claims that India remained silent on the loss of assets during Operation Sindoor, describing it as a "crime" to have allegedly informed Pakistan in advance, referencing comments by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.
Following unprovoked strikes by Pakistan in response to India's Operation Sindoor, both nations engaged in heavy cross-border exchanges. After four days, an understanding was reached to cease hostilities.
Trump later announced a full and immediate ceasefire, claiming the United States had mediated the agreement between the two countries.
