As tensions escalate between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack, the whole nation has united to back the retaliatory strikes against Pakistan under&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/operation-sindoor">Operation Sindoor</a>. From Parliament to the streets, everyone came together to back the Centre's actions against Pakistan for sponsoring terrorist attacks in India.&nbsp;
The key opposition party, Congress, has shown full support and expressed solidarity towards the Indian government and armed forces during its retaliatory attacks against Pakistan. This support&nbsp;was not seen during the 2016 surgical strikes and 2019 Balakot airstrikes.&nbsp;
Moreover, hundreds of youths gathered together in Chandigarh after authorities called for civil defence volunteers, chanting, "Ready to give my life for India."

<h2>A break down</h2>
Now first, let's break down how the opposition expressed solidarity this time, but not during the 2016 and 2019 air strikes.&nbsp;
After the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 people on April 22, the opposition stressed that it was time "for demonstrating our collective will as a nation to teach Pakistan a lesson and curb terrorism decisively&rdquo;.
Later on Wednesday, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) declared &ldquo;full support&rdquo; to the armed forces, saying it was &ldquo;time to be united&rdquo;.&nbsp;
They also decided to halt all planned party programmes, and said, "standing in complete solidarity with our armed forces during this critical hour."
Not just that, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also praised the Indian Armed Forces and lauded their courage and determination.&nbsp;
&ldquo;We are proud of our armed forces, which gave a befitting reply by taking bold and decisive action against terror bases in Pakistan and PoK. We salute the courage, determination, and patriotism of our brave soldiers,&rdquo; Kharge said.&nbsp;

Now cut to 2019 Balakot airstrikes, a day after the strikes, 21 Opposition parties in a joint statement said that they were anguished&rdquo; over the &ldquo;blatant politicisation&rdquo; of the sacrifices of armed forces (40 security personnel were killed in the terror attack) by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
Moreover, senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh also demanded Modi government to give "evidence" of the damage it claimed to have caused to Pakistan during its air strikes in Balakot.&nbsp;

<h2>2016 URI strike</h2>
Now going back even further, during the 2016 URI strike, Rahul Gandhi accused PM Modi of "playing politics over the blood of jawans&rdquo;.
However, after he got backlashed for his statement, he posted on X (then Twitter), "I fully support surgical strikes and I have said so unequivocally. But I will not support using the Indian Army in political posters and propaganda all across the country.&rdquo;
Not just Modi government, but Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) also condemned Gandhi's statement, as the AAP convenor said, "I strongly condemn what Rahul Gandhi said about our jawans."&nbsp;
Later, Amit Shah said, &ldquo;Some parties tried to question the surgical strikes, some even raised doubts. I condemn all those who have insulted our Indian Armed Forces.&rdquo;

One of the locals said that they wanted to do something for the Indian Army as they were doing so much for us.&nbsp;

<h2>'None of our business': Vance</h2>
A day before, in an interview with&nbsp;Fox News, US V-P Vance had said, "What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate a little bit. But we're not going to get involved in the middle of a war that&rsquo;s fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America&rsquo;s ability to control it."
<h2>No mention of Trump in India's statement</h2>
India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri addressed a press conference but did not mention Trump, Rubio, Vance or the United States. Misri said, "Pakistan's Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) called the Indian DGMO at 15:35 hours earlier this afternoon. It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action on land and in the air and sea with effect from 1700 hours Indian Standard Time. Today, instructions have been given on both sides to give effect to this understanding. The Directors General of Military Operations will talk again on the 12th of May at 1200 hours ."&nbsp;

While US President Donald Trump claimed credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, India's statement did not mention the United States | India News, World, Pakistan

India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on Saturday (May 10). While US President Donald Trump claimed credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, India's statement did not mention the United States. India's Foreign Minister S Jaishankar reiterated India's commitment to fighting against terrorism but did not mention Trump or the US in his statement. Moreover, India's Ministry of Defence also briefed the nation on Pakistan's misinformation campaign, Operation Sindoor and ceasefire but did not mention the United States. However, Trump and his team have claimed credit for the ceasefire between the two nuclear nations. This is despite US Vice President JD Vance saying a day before that America would not directly "intervene" in the matter as it is "none of America's business". Trump and his team take credit Donald Trump shared a post on Truth Social announcing that India and Pakistan "have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire" and that "common sense and great intelligence" have prevailed.
