| Photo Credit: ANI A day after the government officially released the names of the soldiers who died during Operation Sindoor, the Congress on Saturday (June 27, 2026) accused Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh of misleading Parliament by stating that no Indian soldier had died during the military operation. The government’s disclosure had exposed a contradiction between the Defence Minister’s statement in Parliament and the official record, the party said, demanding that the Centre place the complete facts relating to Operation Sindoor before the House during the forthcoming monsoon session. The Congress’s deputy leader in the Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi said that during the parliamentary debate on Operation Sindoor, he had urged the Defence Minister to present “the complete truth” before the Parliament and the nation. “Instead, the House was unequivocally told that our soldiers had suffered no loss,” he said in a post on social media platform X.
