Samajwadi Party legislator Jaya Bachchan challenged the government's naming of Operation Sindoor during Wednesday's Rajya Sabha proceedings. The actress turned politician questioned why authorities selected this particular term after the Pahalgam terror incident claimed 26 lives on April 22. She referenced widowed women whose spouses died during the attack and criticized the symbolic choice. BJP members responded with strong objections to her statements about the military operation's designation. Bachchan firmly told interrupting parliamentarians to control their language when women address the chamber.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally selected the operation's name based on details from the Pahalgam massacre where attackers killed Hindu men before their families. The red powder represents married women's status and symbolized both tragedy and determination for justice. Bachchan also criticized intelligence services for failing to prevent the terrorist assault on civilians. Government officials defended the naming decision as an effort to restore honor through decisive military action against perpetrators.
