Congress MP Manickam Tagore on Friday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him and industrialist Anil Ambani of executing a “Rs 1,30,000 crore surgical strike on Indian defence forces.”

Tagore referred to Rahul Gandhi’s 2018 allegations against Ambani, who is currently under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a loan fraud case.

“In 2018, my leader @RahulGandhi warned the nation. The PM and Anil Ambani jointly carried out a Rs 1,30,000 crore surgical strike on Indian defence forces… You betrayed India’s soul.” #RafaleScam. Many laughed. Few believed. ED has now summoned Anil Ambani in a Rs 17,000 crore loan fraud case, days after raids on his premises. The same Anil Ambani whose debt-ridden firm was picked for the Rafale offset deal — replacing HAL. Will Modi answer now?” Tagore posted on X (formerly Twitter), quoting Rahul Gandhi.
