Sirsa slams Congress, says opposition party is speaking Pakistan’s language

May 3, 2025 – New Delhi

Delhi Cabinet Minister and BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa has strongly criticized Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi for demanding proof of India’s surgical strikes. Sirsa called the statement not only unfortunate but also indicative of Congress “still speaking Pakistan’s language.”

Speaking to the media on Saturday, Sirsa said, “At a time when the entire nation is mourning the Pahalgam terror attack, raising questions over the surgical strike is an insult to the sacrifice of our martyrs. Such statements by Congress leaders prove that they prioritize politics over national interest.”

The BJP leader added that this was not the first time Congress had questioned the intentions of the armed forces while standing against the country. “Time and again, this party makes statements that embolden terrorists and Pakistan. Has Congress forgotten the courage with which our soldiers defend our borders?” he asked.

Sirsa also took a swipe at the Punjab government over the ongoing water-sharing dispute with Haryana. Referring to Punjab’s tradition of generosity, he said, “Punjab has never hesitated to offer water even to its enemies. But today, Arvind Kejriwal’s narrow-minded politics has influenced even leaders like Bhagwant Mann. This is an insult to the spirit of Punjabiyat.”

He asserted that if Delhi or Haryana ever faces a crisis, Punjab should offer help without politicizing the issue. “Punjabiyat stands for humanity and cooperation—it should not be trampled for political gains,” Sirsa said.
