New Delhi: The absurd statements of some leaders of the country make the blood boil. What is this spectacle? Why these poisonous arrows against the soldiers who proudly raised the country's head in Operation Sindoor? Be it BJP's Vijay Shah or SP's Ram Gopal Yadav, both threw military heroes like Colonel Sofia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh into the fire of religion and caste to bake their political bread. The narrow thinking and degraded mentality of these leaders is like spitting on the unity of the country. This is not just an insult to two soldiers, but an attack on the dignity of the Indian Army and the self-respect of every citizen of the country.
Vijay Shah: The poisonous face of communalism
The disgusting statement made by Madhya Pradesh cabinet minister Vijay Shah calling Colonel Sofia Qureshi 'sister of terrorists' was a bare display of his communal thinking. On a stage in Indore, where people were celebrating the success of Operation Sindoor, Shah targeted Sofia and not only insulted a soldier, but also made a shameful attempt to look at the country's army through communal prism. His apology? It was just a pretense, an apology given smilingly, in which there was neither remorse nor shame. The Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered an FIR against him, the Supreme Court reprimanded him, but what does the BJP's silence indicate? Is the party secretly promoting such a poisonous mentality? Are people like Shah, who do not hesitate to crush the country's pride in the intoxication of power, worthy of a ministerial post? They should not resign, but should be shown the way out of politics.
Ram Gopal Yadav: The hypocrisy of casteist politics
Ram Gopal Yadav is also no less immersed in this filth. To further fuel the controversy, this SP leader made a statement by twisting facts, which exposes his political trickery and casteist thinking. He claimed that Sofia Qureshi was abused because she was a Muslim, while Wing Commander Vyomika Singh was let off because she was mistaken for a 'Rajput'. What is the truth? Vyomika Singh belongs to the Jatav (Chamar) community of Haryana, not a Rajput. This statement of Yadav is extremely shameful, but it also shows that he does not hesitate to throw the honor of the country's soldiers into the furnace of caste and religion. Is it the work of a patriot to give a communal and caste color to the success of Operation Sindoor? No, this is the act of political vultures, who are ready to sell the soul of the country for votes.
The country is in danger from such leaders
The question here is not just about two statements, but about the mentality that is conspiring to divide the country. Leaders like Vijay Shah and Ram Gopal Yadav are enemies of the unity of the country. One spewed communal venom, while the other stoked the fire of caste hatred. There is no difference in their thinking, both have become blind in their hunger for power. It is a grave crime to make the heroes of the Indian Army, which protects the country by rising above religion and caste, a victim of such dirty politics.
It is shameful that an achievement like Operation Sindoor, which is a symbol of the unity and strength of the country, was made a victim of their political tricks by these leaders. People like Vijay Shah and Ram Gopal Yadav neither deserve forgiveness nor power. Their statements are not just an insult to two soldiers, but an insult to every citizen of the country who is proud of the valor of the army. BJP and SP should immediately take strict action against these leaders, otherwise the anger of the public will teach their politics a lesson. The people of the country and the army deserve much better than this.
