04 June 2025 : Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann questioned the Centre’s claims of success in Operation Sindoor, a day after making his “One Nation, One Husband” remark against BJP. Mann stated, “It’s obvious why the BJP government withdrew the plan to send ‘sindoor’ to every house. When you win a war, your victory is evident, and there’s no need to boast about it.”
Mann also criticised the Chief of Defence Staff’s statement in Singapore, saying that he admitted our jets were shot down. “He said it’s not about how many were shot down, but why they were shot down. They’re making these claims themselves and then accusing me of siding with Pakistan,” Mann said, responding to Union Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Bittu’s statement.
The controversy began when Mann accused BJP of seeking votes in the name of Operation Sindoor’s success, prompting Bittu to accuse him of “standing with Pakistan”.
