Ghaziabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lashed out at those seeking clarity on the damage and casualties inflicted by Indian air strikes on a terror camp in Pakistan’s Balakot. Saying that such people were “appeasing Pakistan”, PM Modi said Islamabad itself had first tweeted about the air strikes and his government did not seek any credit for it.
The Indian Air Force strikes followed the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama last month that left 40 Indian soldiers dead.
“Is Pakistan stupid to do this (tweet)? The 130 crore people of India are my proof. Please stop appeasing Pakistan,” he told a rally in Ghaziabad, on the outskirts of Delhi. “Like in our case (Pulwama) we saw someone’s hands, someone’s limbs, we need to see something from the other side. Someone took responsibility for the bomb attack almost immediately.
I am sure the strikes have happened but where have they done it? There should be clear proof. Until there is proof, how can we accept it? Pakistan says there is no damage to them so how can we accept it unless there is proof,” Ram Raksha, the sister of Ram Vakeel, a soldier from UP, said this week.
