The BJP has criticized Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and former finance Minister P Chidambaram for demanding for the Video evidence of the surgical strike carried out by the Indian Army across the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir last week. Union Minister Ravi Prasad Shankar said that “why is Kejriwal being influenced by the Pakistani propaganda?” He suggested him to remain united at a time of crises, a day after the CM Kejriwal asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to show proof of the surgical strike.
Prasad said Kejriwal is now making headlines in Pakistan for his doubts over Indian Army operation in which 50 suspected terrorist were killed. He also suggested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader to not to demoralize the Army by asking for the proof. While attacking senior congress leader P Chidambaram, Prasad demanded to know if Chidambaram comments were official statement of the Congress party, “I want to ask him if he is also joining the bandwagon of doubting the capacity of our jawans in conducting surgical strikes,” he said”.
Chidambaram on Monday said it was up to the Government to show proof of the surgical strikes conducted on September 28 night in which the army destroyed seven terror launch pads in Pakistan- controlled Kashmir.
Hitting back at the Bjp, AAP asked Prasad why the Government is not unmasking the Pakistani propaganda.” I am amazed that Ravi Shankar Prasad instead of exposing Propaganda is questioning AK. Shows BJP’s bankruptcy of ideas.” AAp leader Ashutosh tweeted.
