NEW DELHI:
BJP has slammed Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Congress leader P Chidambaram for demanding proof on ‘Surgical strikes’ across the Line of Control to destroy terror launch pads.
“I want to ask Arvind Kejriwal whether he believes in the extraordinary valour of our Army or not in conducting surgical strikes,” Union minister and BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said in a press briefing Tuesday.
“Under the garb of seeking proof, don’t belittle great leadership, courage and sacrifice of our armed forces. Why are you getting influenced by propaganda of Pakistan ,” Prasad asked Kejriwal, adding that the Delhi CM’s comments have become headlines in Pakistani media.
Prasad also questioned former Union home minister P Chidambaram, saying why was he((P Chidambaram)) joining the bandwagon of those who were doubting the capacity of Indian jawans in conducting surgical strikes. He asked Congress to come clean on Chidambaram’s comments.
In the wake of Pakistan casting doubts on last week’s surgical strikes across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “expose the false propaganda” being spread by Islamabad on the issue.
