The Congress party has said that the Indian government is not telling people the full truth about the air battle with Pakistan on May 7, 2025.
In a message on social media (X), Congress pointed to a talk given by Captain Shiv Kumar in Indonesia last month. During that seminar, Captain Kumar admitted that India lost fighter jets in an air clash with Pakistan.
Congress also mentioned that India’s top military officer, General Anil Chauhan, had earlier said that India lost some aircraft during Operation Sindoor.
Congress Says Modi Government Is Hiding Truth About Air Clash With Pakistan
Congress is accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government of hiding important facts from the public. They are asking the government to be open and honest about what happened and why a ceasefire was called afterward.
The party asked,
“Why won’t the Prime Minister hold a meeting with all political parties to share the truth?”
“Why did the government reject the request to hold a special Parliament session on this matter?”
“What are PM Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar hiding from the people?”
The Congress is putting pressure on the Modi government to explain how the air battle went wrong, and why Parliament and the public have not been informed properly.
Earlier, during a seminar in Jakarta, Captain Shiv Kumar, who works for India in Indonesia, said that India lost jets to Pakistan on May 7. According to The Wire, he explained that this happened because Indian forces were told not to hit Pakistan’s military bases or air defenses, due to political instructions.
In a 35-minute talk, Captain Kumar admitted,
“Yes, we did lose some aircraft.”
