NEW DELHI, May 19 (Alliance News): Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has renewed his demand for clarity on the number of Indian aircraft destroyed, criticizing the silence of Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar.

Gandhi accused the minister’s silence of being “meaningful, criminal, and condemnable,” questioning whether India lost aircraft due to Pakistan’s prior knowledge of the attacks.

In a public statement, Rahul Gandhi described the lack of official response not as mere oversight but as a serious crime, stressing that the nation deserves to know the truth.

Meanwhile, Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar is scheduled to visit the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany from May 19 to May 24 to brief officials about Operation Sindoor, according to Indian media reports.
