- Indian opposition demands defence minister's resignation for 'lying' about soldiers' deaths in 2025 conflict with Pakistan
India's opposition Congress party has demanded the resignation of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for allegedly lying in parliament about the deaths of six Indian soldiers during the May 2025 conflict with Pakistan, dubbed 'Operation Sindoor'. The government disclosed the soldiers' names 13 months after the conflict, prompting accusations of concealment and misleading statements from the Modi-led BJP. The Indian government denied the claims, stating it honored the fallen at the 'earliest opportunity'.
