Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the central government, calling the launch of Operation Sindoor following the Pahalgam attack a glaring symbol of its intelligence failure. Speaking during a debate in the Lok Sabha, Yadav questioned the government’s decision-making, particularly asking why India ended its conflict with Pakistan so abruptly and under whose influence the ceasefire was initiated.
Yadav, the former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, said the tragic Pahalgam incident was a result of a severe intelligence lapse and criticized the government for failing to prevent such attacks. “Who will take responsibility for the intelligence lapse in the Pahalgam attack?” he asked, stressing that such an incident should never have occurred.
He further expressed concern over India’s foreign policy, claiming it has “completely collapsed.” Yadav didn’t mince words as he referred to China as a “monster” that, according to him, continues to devour both Indian territory and markets.
The Samajwadi Party chief argued that the cost of this intelligence failure has been the loss of precious lives and the exposure of deep vulnerabilities in India’s border strategy.
