Mumbai, September 23: A video circulating on social media that purportedly shows Union Home Minister Amit Shah blaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval for the alleged failure of “Operation Sindoor” has been flagged as fake by the government’s official fact-checking body. The viral video also shows Amit Shah asking PM Modi to resign.
"The complete plan for Operation Sindoor that Doval Ji gave us, we made a huge mistake in it. The biggest mistake was that we underestimated Pakistan. We thought we would fly our Rafales, and Pakistan would not do anything. But when we heard Colonel Sophia’s press conference, the reality came out. Pakistan rained missiles down on more than 26 places. I still cannot believe how this happened. Where did Modi Ji’s India Development go? Now, only one thing is clear: Modi Ji, now just resign and go home. The leadership of the BJP should now go to a new leader. All this is what is in my heart, and now the entire public is saying it too. Enough is enough,” Amit Shah could be heard saying in the video.
