On May 10, 2026, opposition parties in India commemorated the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, which was launched following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, that killed 26 civilians. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh criticized the central government over the ceasefire, which was announced unexpectedly by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and demanded an independent inquiry similar to the Kargil Review Committee. Opposition leaders, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, paid tribute to the armed forces, emphasizing their bravery during the conflict. The Indian government maintains that the ceasefire was reached bilaterally, rejecting claims of US mediation. In a show of solidarity, the Indian Army shared a video on social media at the exact time the strikes began, reinforcing the message that “India forgets nothing. India forgives nothing.”
