Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut called for the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday — insisting that Operation Sindoor had been a ‘failure’. The remarks came even as Indian diplomatic delegations fanned out across the globe and Opposition leaders clamoured for a special session of Parliament to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. The Opposition has also called for an all-party meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Operation Sindoor was a failure, however, in the interest of the nation, the opposition does not want to talk much about it. Operation Sindoor was launched because terrorists killed 26 innocent people in Pahalgam. Union Home Minister Amit Shah was responsible for it. As penance, Amit Shah should resign from his post. PM Modi should remove Amit Shah from the cabinet,” Raut opined.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader had also criticised the Centre’s decision to send all-party delegations abroad to promote India’s stand against cross-border terrorism and Operation Sindoor. Raut claimed during a media interaction on Saturday that the timing and intent behind the move suggested that it lacked strategic clarity.
“What is the need to send delegations to countries that have nothing to do with the India and Pakistan issue? The selection of nations like Liberia, Congo, and Sierra Leone raises serious questions,” he had told a regional news channel.
