BJP doing dirty politics in name of Operation Sindoor: Aaditya Thackeray backs demand for special Parliament session

Raising concerns over the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, he questioned whether the attackers have been apprehended.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray on Tuesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in “dirty politics” over Operation Sindoor and reiterated the Opposition's demand for a Special Session of Parliament, ANI reported.

“Yes, we are demanding this (Special Session). On one hand, we are united before the world; the Opposition and ruling side are going out as a united front before the world and telling them how Pakistan-based terrorism can be dismantled. But on the other hand, a few leaders of the BJP are doing dirty politics in our country in the name of Operation Sindoor. We want to fight against it,” Thackeray told the media.

Raising concerns over the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, he questioned whether the attackers have been apprehended. “Truth should come out that how the terrorist (behind the Pahalgam terrorist attack) came there. Have they been caught? Where are they? Have they entered the BJP? It is essential to ask this,” he said, according to ANI.

Thackeray also hit out at the government over remarks on Eid al-Adha celebrations, arguing that the administration should focus on real issues like farmer suicides and monsoon flooding instead of interfering in festivals.

“Why should calls be made to save this or save that in every festival? Celebrate festivals. It is always save water, save colour, save this and save that. Let people breathe. It is not the job of the government. The government's job is to see that if farmers are dying by suicide, go and support them. If houses are flooded in rain, go and check why it happened. The government's job is to search for the four Pakistani terrorists who came here. It is not their job to interfere with festivals,” ANI quoted him as saying.

Meanwhile, leaders of the INDIA bloc held a meeting at the Constitution Club in Delhi on Tuesday and renewed their call for a Special Session of Parliament.

Speaking to the media after the meeting, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said, “There are signatures of 16 political parties on the letter that we have written to the Prime Minister. This is not a normal letter. The Opposition is the voice of the public. We want a special session to be called to discuss whatever has happened in the country so far,” ANI reported.
