LUCKNOW, May 16 -- Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday took a swipe at the Bharatiya Janata Party's Tiranga Yatra after Operation Sindoor, saying a win, not ceasefire, should be celebrated. He made the comment in Amethi where he was on a tour to attend private functions.

"Celebrations should be of victory, not ceasefire. The people of BJP want to deceive the people of the country. The public is aware and wise. When the time comes, it will teach the BJP a lesson. Peace is paramount for our country but along with this, other countries should not interfere in many of our issues. That has been the identity of our constitution and democracy. Sovereignty is the identity," Yadav said, speaking to the media.
