The Indian Air Force's 93rd anniversary celebration featured a viral dinner menu naming dishes after Pakistani airbases targeted during anti-terror operations. Items included 'Rawalpindi' Chicken Tikka Masala, 'Balakot' Tiramisu, 'Muzaffarabad' Kulfi Faluda, and 'Muridke' Meetha Pan, referencing locations struck during Operation Bandar (2019) and Operation Sindoor (2025). BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala praised the menu as representing PM Modi's "Naya Bharat" and "ghar me ghus ke maarenge" doctrine, stating it conveys a "new normal" from "serving dishes to serving justice." He contrasted this with Congress's alleged prevention of military response after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, accusing the party of weakening India's counter-terrorism stance.
