MEERUT Bulandshahr BJP MP and party national secretary Bhola Singh landed in controversy on Thursday after his Indian Air Force (IAF) Day greetings on social media allegedly featured a photograph of a Pakistani fighter jet instead of an Indian aircraft.
The post on X was deleted after the error came to light. The incident triggered criticism from the opposition Congress, which accused the BJP MP of showing disrespect to the Indian Air Force. Congress senior spokesperson and MP Pawan Khera shared the controversial post and targeted the BJP. Tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Khera alleged that a BJP MP had used a photograph of a Pakistani fighter jet while extending greetings on IAF Day.
Singh also hit back at Congress, alleging that the opposition party had no substantive political issue left and was therefore attempting to turn a technical mistake into a political controversy.
The MP said the mistake was a “human error” and that the post was immediately deleted after the error was noticed.
