On the third anniversary of the Pulwama attack today, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) asked for proof from the central government of the surgical strike carried out in Balakot in Pakistan administered Kashmir (PaK) in September 2019.
“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,” KCR said.
“The BJP is using surgical strike politically. The Army is fighting at the border. If anyone is dying, it’s Army personnel, and they should be given credit for it, not BJP,” the CM said.
KCR’s comments come at a time when he is engaged in a battle of words with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over proof of surgical strike.
Assam Chief Minister on Friday 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?”
