Gofrixty [30 July 2025] – Prime Minister Narendra Modi faced sharp criticism in India’s Parliament on Tuesday as opposition parties accused his government of severe bungling in dealing with the recent tensions with Pakistan. The furor followed reports of battlefield losses, murky diplomacy and the absence of a transparent plan during the brief but sharp exchange of fire between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
Opposition leaders have charged that the Modi government has not been able to protect both national security and international credibility. They said India was taken aback by Pakistan’s aggressive retaliation and accused the Prime Minister of prioritizing political messaging over defense planning. Many lawmakers cited the ambiguity surrounding the ceasefire agreement and questioned whether foreign pressure was behind the decision to stop the fighting.
The Leader of the Opposition called on the Prime Minister to explain the situation directly to the public. He asked whether the United States or others in the larger world were somehow behind the peace moves, and if that represented a breach of India’s hard line against third-party mediation on matters affecting South Asia.
