Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Monday created a flutter by claiming the BJP Government at the Centre claims to have carried out surgical strikes against Pakistan but there was no proof of the same.
“They (Centre) talk about surgical strikes and that they have killed so many of them but there is no proof,” said the Congress leader in his address in Jammu today.
“The Centre is ruling with the help of lies. I want to tell you that this country belongs to all of us,” added the Madhya Pradesh former chief minister.
Singh also targeted PM Modi over the Pulwama terror attack in which over 40 CRPF personnel were killed. The former Madhya Pradesh chief minister said that the 2019 terror attack could have been averted had the vehicle, which launched the attack on the CRPF been checked properly.
“Why did they die? The CRPF director had sought airlifting of CRPF personnel from Srinagar to Delhi as the area was a sensitive one but PM Modi declined the request. Why did he decline?,” Singh questioned.
As the Congress party faced political heat and BJP too mounted a counter attack to push the congress party on the backfoot, Jairam Ramesh late Monday evening tweeted, "the views expressed by senior leader Digvijaya Singh are his own and do not reflect the position of Congress. Surgical strikes were carried out before 2014 by the UPA government. Congress has supported & will continue to support all military actions that are in the national interest".
