"Do chutki sindoor ka mahatva aap kya jante hai Modiji": AAP's Sanjay Singh slams BJP - World News Network

New Delhi [India], May 31 (ANI): AAP leader Sanjay Singh launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led ruling party and criticised the BJP for its purported “Ghar Ghar Sindoor Abhiyan,” calling it a cheap political stunt and labelling it ‘One Nation, One Husband’ scheme.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has, however, denied media reports claiming that the party is visiting house to house to distribute sindoor (vermilion).
“Do chutki sindoor ka mahatva aap kya jante hai Modiji?,” said Sanjay Singh.
In a post on X, Sanjay Singh said, “In Indian culture, women apply sindoor as a symbol of their husband’s long life, respect and well-being. It reflects pride, dignity, and deep emotional meaning. But now, after pushing schemes like ‘One Nation, One Election’ and ‘One Nation, One Leader’, the Prime Minister appears to have launched ‘One Nation, One Husband’,” Singh said.
The AAP leader questioned whether this campaign implies that all women in the country are being asked to accept Prime Minister Modi as their husband.
“What kind of mentality is this? Will all the country’s women now accept PM Modi as their husband? For how long will the BJP engage in shoddy politics under the name of Operation Sindoor, and how long will it keep selling it?” he questioned.
Adding further, he said, “While four Pakistani terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack remain untraced and PoK is yet to be reclaimed. The Indian Army had the upper hand and could have taken back PoK or even liberated Balochistan, but the Centre opted for a ceasefire under Donald Trump’s pressure. And BJP karyakartas are now going door to door distributing sindoor without considering the sentiments of Indian women.”
“Have you thought about the emotions behind this tradition? Do you understand the significance of those two pinches of sindoor, Modiji?” Singh said.
“This is not just a political gimmick, it’s an insult to women. Indian women will apply sindoor for their husbands, not for any political leader. Please stop this attempt to misuse our traditions for politics,” he added.
Earlier on Friday, the Congress unit in Kerala had also attacked the BJP and shared a poster of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the caption ‘One Nation, One Husband.’ This was a jab at the BJP’s campaign. The poster with PM Modi’s image read, “Modi government to deliver sindoor to every household. A month-long campaign from June 9, MPs to walk 15-20 kms daily.”
Reacting to this, the BJP in Karnataka slammed the Congress party and posted on X.
“Congress insults Hindus day in and day out, then blames EVMs on the result day. A script uglier than the gold hidden where no sun shines,” it posted.

Congress unit in Kerala hit back at the post and raised a series of questions over the campaign.
“Who is Modi to send Sindoor to any devout Hindu woman,@BJP4Karnataka? Is the man so drunk on power that he has lost it completely, or has the honour of our womenfolk and our sacred Hindu traditions become a joke for him? We reiterate: as per Hindu traditions, Sindoor is given to a woman by her husband. Modi should and can give Sindoor only to one woman from Gujarat, a retired School teacher who has long been abandoned. Take your Hindutva political ‘traditions’ elsewhere, BJP! Your arrogant leader and your morally bankrupt party must stop abusing Hinduism and Hindus for your selfish political needs,” the post read.
India launched Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack and launched precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Indian Armed Forces responded effectively to subsequent Pakistani aggression and pounded its airbases.
This military retaliation came after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 tourists – 25 Indian and one Nepali – were killed in an assault carried out by terrorists who, according to Indian authorities, came from Pakistan.
The two countries have reached an understanding to stop military action following a call made by Pakistan’s DGMO to his Indian counterpart. (ANI)
