Senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan has raised concerns over the government's choice of 'Operation Sindoor' as the code name for recent military actions. He questioned whether the name was selected to bring 'sentimental benefits' rather than focusing on substantial military strategy.

Chavan articulated that wars are ultimately won with weapons and strategy, not through symbolic names. He stressed the importance of the government providing regular updates to prevent misinformation in the wake of strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan.

While appreciating the inclusion of female officers in media briefings, he warned that symbolism should not replace effective military action. He reiterated the necessity for solid proof of military actions, reflecting global expectations for transparency.
