Congress questions former CDS remarks on China's role in Operation Sindoor

Congress leaders on Monday raised formal questions over remarks made by the former Chief of Defence Staff that suggested a role for China in the recently concluded Operation Sindoor. The opposition said the statements required clarification from the Ministry of Defence and the government. The ex‑CDS had earlier indicated that intelligence inputs pointed to Chinese involvement, a claim that the party described as serious and demanding a detailed response. Congress urged the defence establishment to provide a clear account of the evidence behind the allegation and its impact on India's security posture. The issue is expected to be debated in Parliament in the coming sessions.
