Operation Sindoor Sparks Political Clash as Opposition Demands Answers
- India's top military official, General Anil Chauhan, confirmed that combat aircraft were lost during the four-day Operation Sindoor against Pakistan in early May 2025.
- Following Islamabad’s assertion that it had downed six Indian fighter jets, Gen Chauhan denied these reports as false, while the Congress party called for greater transparency and the convening of a special session of Parliament.

- Congress leaders Uttam Kumar Reddy and Jairam Ramesh urged the government to clarify losses, with Reddy calling CDS's comments an "admission" and Kharge demanding an independent review like the 1999 Kargil panel.
- The controversy highlights calls for government accountability and could influence upcoming parliamentary discussions amid Modi administration's focus on Operation Sindoor in national security strategy.
