BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra accused the previous UPA government on Saturday of failing to retaliate after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks despite military readiness. The Lok Sabha member claimed that the Congress leadership had surrendered to American pressure and compromised national security. Patra referenced former Union Minister P. Chidambaram's admission that the government rejected retaliatory strikes against Pakistan due to international influence from the United States.
The BJP spokesperson alleged Sonia Gandhi unconstitutionally directed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister Chidambaram to avoid military action. He contrasted the pre-2014 administration's approach with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government and its decisive responses to security threats. Patra criticized Congress for questioning military operations and undermining the credibility of the armed forces. He stated the current administration demonstrates both military courage and political determination that the UPA government lacked.
