Congress Leader Vijay Wadettiwar Sparks Controversy; CM Fadnavis reacts | X

Nagpur: Senior Maharashtra Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar has once again sparked controversy with his remarks regarding Operation Sindoor. During a media interaction in Nagpur, he said that the government should maintain transparency regarding Operation Sindoor and give correct information to the people.

"There are discussions that they (Pakistan) launched 5,000 China-made drones and the value of each drone was Rs 15,000. To destroy each drone worth Rs 15,000, we launched missiles worth Rs 15 lakhs. This was a part of China's strategy. There are also discussions that our 3-4 Rafale jets were shot down...The government should give a clarification," Wadettiwar said.

Responding to the statement, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday came down hard on Wadettiwar's remarks, saying people who have no sense of duty towards the nation are "fools" and they need to be responded to.

"What can be said to fools? Congress leaders do not see the difference between things; for them, there is no difference between drones used by farmers in the fields and combat drones. So, what answer should be given to such people? The only work of Congress leaders is to lower the army's morale," he said while speaking at an event in Mumbai.

Previously, the Congress leader had stirred a row by saying, "Did the terrorists have time to ask someone’s religion before shooting?” However, he later issued an apology for his statement.
