Modi Says Those Seeking Proof For Balakot Air Strike ‘Appeasing’ Pakistan
The Prime Minister accused the opposition of “appeasing” Pakistan by seeking proof for the Balakot air strike.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the opposition of "appeasing" Pakistan by seeking proof for the Balakot air strike.
"Will you (people) do anything that appeases Pakistan or makes Pakistan clap? But some of our opposition leaders have been doing the same for the past 10 days. Identify these people, they are not worried about the country, but are scared of going behind the bars and that is why they want to capture power at the Centre," Modi said at a public meeting.
Pointing out a tweet by a Pakistan Army spokesperson about the air strike, Modi said, "Is Pakistan stupid to do this (tweet)? The 130 crore people of India are my proof. Please stop appeasing Pakistan."
The opposition has been demanding that the Centre come out with the details, including the number of terrorists killed, of the air strike by the Indian Air Force in Pakistan's Balakot last week.
The prime minister said the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government did not seek any credit for the air strike.
Now after the recent air strikes, you may have noticed the Indian government was quiet about it. And we did not sleep after the air strike. This ‘chowkidaar’ (watchman) was awake. We showed such bravery, but still kept quiet and did not seek any credit. It was Pakistan which first tweeted about it and started crying from 5 a.m. It was Pakistan which first spoke about India’s courageous actionNarendra Modi, Prime Minister
Modi accused the Congress, Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party among others of not being ready to trust the armed forces.
