On May 31, 2025, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly politicizing Operation Sindoor and using cultural symbols for electoral gains. Singh questioned Modi's understanding of the significance of 'sindoor'—a traditional symbol of marital commitment—stating, "Do chutki sindoor ka mahatva aap kya jante hai, Modiji?" He accused the BJP of exploiting the symbol for vote-bank politics, particularly through the distribution of 'sindoor' during campaigns. Singh also condemned the use of Modi's image on railway tickets amid ongoing military operations, arguing that such actions trivialize national tragedies for self-promotion. The BJP dismissed Singh's remarks, accusing the AAP of undermining national morale and aligning with adversarial narratives. (PC: ANI)
