BJP MP Tejasvi Surya warns of a 2.5-front war facing India, accusing Congress of being an internal threat. Citing Operation Sindoor’s success, he highlights India’s military strength under PM Modi and contrasts it with UPA’s weak counter-terror policies from 2004 to 2014.
In a fiery address to the Lok Sabha on Monday, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) national president and BJP MP from Bengaluru South, Tejasvi Surya, sharply criticized the Congress party, alleging that it poses an internal threat to India’s national security. Surya’s remarks came during a discussion on the success of Operation Sindoor, a recent military operation that showcased India’s advanced counter-terror capabilities under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Drawing on the strategic doctrine coined by late General Bipin Rawat, Surya stated that India now faces a “2.5-front war” — against China, Pakistan, and an internal “half-front.” He asserted, “It’s now evident that the Congress is the internal ‘0.5 front,’ weakening the nation from within.”
Surya’s speech highlighted Operation Sindoor as a watershed moment in India’s counter-terror history. The operation, which targeted terror camps deep within Pakistani territory, was described as a demonstration of India’s technological and tactical superiority. Surya emphasized the deployment of cutting-edge indigenous weaponry, unmanned aerial vehicles, precision-guided missiles, and advanced electronic and information warfare tools during the mission.
“This military action wasn’t like previous ones. This was new-generation warfare. India proved its strength by reaching high-value targets inside Pakistan — despite their defense systems being built with Chinese technology,” Surya remarked.
He credited the Modi-led NDA government for significantly enhancing India’s counter-terrorism infrastructure and response capability. According to Surya, India’s Integrated Air Command and Control System operated seamlessly during the operation, reinforcing the preparedness of the armed forces.
Surya also addressed the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where several pilgrims, including five from Karnataka (three from his own constituency), lost their lives. Offering his condolences, he said,
“Operation Sindoor showed the world that no terrorist is safe anywhere in Pakistan. Wherever they hide, Bharat will track and neutralize them.”
In a scathing critique of the Congress party’s national security record, Surya contrasted the BJP’s proactive defense policies with what he called the UPA’s decade of negligence (2004–2014). He noted that over 8,000 civilians were killed in terror attacks during this period.
“Congress failed to act. It repealed anti-terror legislation like POTA and diluted the powers of the NIA. Instead of strengthening our forces, it weakened them,” he charged.
Surya further accused the Congress party of undermining India’s image and sovereignty through political narratives that question the valor of the Indian armed forces and the government’s defense strategies.
“While Prime Minister Narendra Modi stands tall as the true defender of Bharat, the Congress seems intent on engineering a real surrender to India’s enemies,” he stated.
He highlighted how the current government has invested deeply in indigenous defense manufacturing, modern military equipment, and infrastructure along sensitive border regions. Surya credited the Modi administration’s vision for enabling India’s defense startups and pushing for self-reliance in national security.

Asserting that India will no longer tolerate acts of terror, Surya concluded his speech with a resounding message:
“This government has shown the world that India does not forget. India does not forgive. And under the leadership of Narendra Modi, India acts — decisively and without hesitation.”
The BJP MP’s address marks a significant articulation of the government’s evolving security doctrine, positioning not just Pakistan and China but internal political threats as part of a comprehensive national security challenge.
