Congress’ Charanjit Channi questions surgical strikes, backtracks later

, 12 novinky, 1 zhlédnutí

Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi on Friday (May 2, 2025) questioned the veracity of the surgical strikes against Pakistan in the aftermath of the 2019 Pulwama terror attack but later, backtracked in the face of the BJP's criticism and said that no proof was sought for it.

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slammed the Congress MP for his remarks, with party spokesperson C.R. Kesavan saying that Mr. Channi, in 2024, disgustingly commented “stuntbaazi” when Corporal Vicky Pahade was killed in the Poonch attack.

“Now, he insults the armed forces again, saying they (the Army) said that we did a surgical strike on Pakistan, but nobody saw it,” Mr. Kesavan said.
