AAP leader Sanjay Singh has launched a sharp attack on the Narendra Modi-led BJP government, accusing it of politicizing sacred Hindu traditions through an alleged “Ghar Ghar Sindoor Abhiyan.” Labeling it the ‘One Nation, One Husband’ campaign, Singh accused the ruling party of disrespecting Indian women and trivializing religious symbolism.
“Do chutki sindoor ka mahatva aap kya jante hai, Modiji?” Sanjay Singh questioned in a post on X, emphasizing that sindoor represents a woman’s love, respect, and emotional bond with her husband, not a political token.
Singh drew parallels between earlier government initiatives like ‘One Nation, One Election’ and the new alleged campaign, sarcastically asking whether this move implies that all Indian women are being asked to accept PM Modi as their husband.
“This isn’t just political drama—it’s an insult to Indian women. Sindoor is sacred, and no government should misuse our traditions for cheap political publicity,” Singh added.
BJP’s Response & Denial:
The BJP has denied reports of any door-to-door sindoor distribution, calling them media misrepresentations. However, critics remain unconvinced, especially in light of a viral Congress poster that took a dig at the BJP campaign, depicting PM Modi with the caption, “One Nation, One Husband.”
The Congress Kerala unit amplified the attack, calling the campaign “an abuse of Hinduism for political gain.”
“Modi can give sindoor only to one woman from Gujarat—his legally wedded wife. Hindu traditions must not be mocked or hijacked for propaganda,” said a post from the Kerala Congress handle.
Operation Sindoor & National Security Context:
This controversy emerges against the backdrop of Operation Sindoor, a military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 tourists. The Indian Army launched precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK before both sides reached a ceasefire understanding through DGMO-level talks.
Sanjay Singh accused the government of focusing more on symbolic campaigns like sindoor distribution than addressing serious security threats, saying:
“PoK is yet to be reclaimed, four terrorists are still at large, and the Centre buckled under Donald Trump’s pressure for a ceasefire. Yet BJP karyakartas are busy distributing sindoor.”
What’s Next?
As criticism from opposition parties intensifies, the BJP faces mounting questions over the authenticity and intent of the alleged sindoor campaign. While the party maintains that no such official campaign exists, the political storm surrounding Operation Sindoor, religious symbolism, and gender respect continues to brew ahead of the upcoming parliamentary sessions and state elections.
This controversy may further deepen communal and political fault lines, especially in a highly polarized election environment.
