“The message to the enemy is loud and clear. Unlike the negative behavior of the UPA regime, New India is not patient with futile peace negotiations,” the BJP said in an article on X.

Pawan Khera, head of Congressional Media and Propaganda Department, tagged a post on the Weibo platform, “So do we have to do politics now? Is it time to do politics? Does the government need the support of the opposition?” Do we not have to give unified information now? The government and the BJP should clarify. ” said Mr. Kaira in his post in Hindi.

Mr Tarole tagged the BJP’s post on X, “This little attempt to divide us politically is sad when this country is united by Indians. It was carefully taken after the efforts of the pathankot explosion in 2016. @bjp4india is neither suitable for deletion.”
