New Delhi, July 30 -- Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan questioned the government on Wednesday on why the retaliatory action by the armed forces following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack was named "Operation Sindoor", when women were widowed and "lost their Sindoor".

"I talk from my heart... You have appointed big writers, who give fancy names... Why did you name it Sindoor? Sindoor to ujad gaya logo ka (they lost their Sindoor)... Those who were killed, their wives were left behind," PTI quoted Jaya Bachchan as saying.

"The tourists who went there, why did they go there? After abolition of Article 370, they were chest-thumping that terrorism will be finished... what happened? The tourists went there believing that," she added.

Bachch...
