Political tempers are flaring in the capital as Priyanka Chaturvedi of Shiv Sena (UBT) rips into the government’s panicked reaction to ex-Army Chief Manoj Naravane’s explosive book. The Rajya Sabha stalwart called out the U-turns—from declaring it unpublished to FIR threats. ‘Unofficial words don’t magically appear in markets or opposition hands,’ she retorted, demanding clarity.
Focusing on Galwan’s narrative, Chaturvedi clarified no Indian blood was spilled nor land seized, urging openness about real-time choices by top brass. People have every right to this chronicle, she affirmed. The orchestrated outrage mimics responses to adversarial generals—unthinkable for our own hero, she fumed, labeling the censorship a blot on democracy.
Painting the administration as evasive and vindictive, Chaturvedi highlighted how legal hammers deter honest military memoirs. She pivoted to parliamentary patriotism, praising ‘Vande Mataram’ revival after her earlier protests, and ribbed BJP loyalists for slogan faux pas that now spark education. On Speaker no-confidence protocols, she invoked rulebooks for fairness. Delhi’s saga drew her ire too: AAP’s grand visions crumbled into unsafe streets and shoddy infrastructure, a stark betrayal in India’s showcase city.
