CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A prominent Gujarat Congress leader has been arrested for allegedly posting controversial remarks on social media regarding “Operation Sindoor.” The operation, which was recently conducted by Indian security forces, aimed to neutralize terror threats and ensure national safety. The Congress leader’s posts, seen as critical of the operation and its execution, have sparked political uproar and legal action.
Authorities claim the posts were provocative and could potentially disturb public harmony.
