Seeking a comprehensive official review of Operation Sindoor , Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Thursday (August 27, 2026) questioned what he described as conflicting statements by senior military officials on the extent of cooperation between Pakistan and China during the operation.
Singh had revealed the very disturbingly deep nature of the Pakistan-China jugalbandi [close ties] during Operation Sindoor. Mr. Gen. Chauhan’s more recent remarks on the same issue were simply opposite to what the Army officer had stated.
Ramesh said Lt. However, he said Gen. “The nation is confused,” Mr. Ramesh said, asking, What is going on here?
He questioned whether there was a deeper plan to change the narrative surrounding Operation Sindoor, and linked the issue to what he alleged was the Modi government’s broader approach towards China. “What is going on here? Is there some deeper plan to change the narrative?
Is this part of the calibrated capitulation to China on the part of the Modi Govt that has been in clear evidence for a long while since the PM’s infamous clean chit to China on June 2020 and the record trade deficits with China that his Government has presided over?” he posted on X.
“The nation needs to know,” he said.
