New Delhi: Launching a scathing attack on the opposition parties for questioning airstrikes at terror camps in Pakistan’s Balakot, Union Minister VK Singh on Wednesday said that “next time India conducts such operations, the opposition leaders who raise such questions can be tied to the plane and taken to the attack site.”
Talking to ANI, Singh, also a former Army chief, said: “I feel that next time when India does anything similar, the opposition leaders who raise such questions can be tied to plane. They can see the target when the bomb is fired. They can be left there to count and then come back.”
“I cannot understand this mentality. They know what action has been taken and are now asking for evidence. They could have gone and seen it,” said Singh.
Speaking about a tweet of his in this regard, Singh said: “Do you count things? Bombs were exploded. Buildings were hit and will people not be killed after an explosion of a 1,000-kg bomb?”
“If killed, then you make an estimate of the number of people killed. I don’t know who wants to count it. It’s unfortunate,” he said, adding “asking such questions repeatedly for political purpose is not good for the country.”
On last Sunday, BJP chief Amit Shah, while addressing a rally in Ahmedabad, had claimed that 250 terrorists were killed in the air strike.
