Modi Vs Mamata, Himanta Vs Gogoi: Why Pakistan Features In Bengal, Assam Poll Rhetoric

A sharp political clash erupts across states as Narendra Modi claims his government struck terror camps in Pakistan under “Operation Sindoor,” accusing the Congress of echoing Islamabad’s line while the BJP focuses on long-term development. In Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma alleges that a Congress press briefing by Pawan Khera and Gaurav Gogoi relied on material from a Pakistani social media group, and says he and his wife have filed an FIR over what he calls forged documents. Meanwhile in West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee questions Modi’s silence after a warning from Khawaja Asif about a possible strike on Kolkata, accusing the Centre of failing to respond firmly, as Pakistan becomes a flashpoint in heated poll rhetoric.
