On Friday after CM Sarma, during an election rally in Uttarakhand, replied to Rahul Gandhi’s speech and said, “Look at the mentality of these people. General Bipin Rawat was the pride of the country. India conducted the surgical strike in Pakistan under his leadership. Rahul Gandhi demanded proof of the strike. Did we ever ask you for proof of whether you are Rajiv Gandhi’s son or not? What right do you have to demand proof from my Army?”
After that during a press conference on Sunday, Rao said, “Even today, I am asking for the proof. Let the government of India show (the proof). The BJP makes false propaganda that is why people are asking for it.”
Both the CMs have been in a battle of words over the issue of surgical strikes since last week.
Reacting to it, Rao urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP National Chief Jagat Prakash Nadda to dismiss Assam CM for his comments on Rahul Gandhi.
CM Sarma didn’t hold back and reacted to Rao’s comment and said, “I believe that questioning the Army whether they have carried out the surgical strike or not is the biggest crime. He (Telangana CM KCR) got agitated by my comment on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi but not by Rahul Gandhi’s comment on our Army.”
India is observing ‘Black Day’, on account of the brutal Pulwama attacks, which is one of the deadliest attacks on Indian security forces to date, when many brave hearts lost their lives.
The attack was carried out by terrorists supported by Pakistan. On this day, the nation paid homage to the brave martyrs.
On February 26, 2019, India retaliated by carrying out multiple airstrikes in Pakistan’s Balakot targeting terrorist camps.
