CDS General Anil Chauhan's remarks on India's recent military engagement with Pakistan sparked criticism from the Congress, which accused the Modi government for misleading the nation.

On the other hand, Amit Shah on Sunday launched a blistering attack on CM Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of "stooping low" by opposing Operation Sindoor and the Waqf Amendment Bill to appease the Muslim vote bank, and alleged that the Murshidabad riots were "state-sponsored". As the day develops, stay tuned to this space for the latest political updates.
