Venkaiah Naidu: Discussions on surgical strike will be insult to Indian Army
Hitting out at those seeking proof of the surgical strikes in PoK, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today said further discussions on the operations will be an insult to the commendable task carried out by the Army.
Hitting out at those "seeking proof" of the surgical strikes in PoK, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today said further discussions on the operations will be an "insult" to the "commendable" task carried out by the Army.
"There is no need to respond to such irresponsible comments and demands. Fortunately, Congress has also realised its mistake and distanced itself from the comments of its leaders...AAP has also made it very clear," he told reporters on the sidelines of an event here.
He said nobody has any doubt about the "credentials and commitment" of the Indian Army which has done a "commendable" job and further discussions on the operations will be an "insult" to the force.
"I don't think any Indian citizen has got any doubt. Nobody is doubting the credentials and commitment of the Indian Army. It did a commendable job...It would be an insult to the Army if we further discuss," he said.
Naidu said the Director General Military Operations (DGMO) himself had given the statement about the operations in full details and also shared the information at an all-party meeting.
He wondered if giving further details will be in the interest of the nation.
Observing that entire country is happy about the surgical strikes, he said the world has also acknowledge the step taken by India.
"Only Pakistan is saying something because they have to say something. They are not in a position to conduct funeral or last rites of their own citizens...This is their culture," he said.
Earlier, addressing the event, the minister said India does not want war with anybody, but will give a befitting reply if continuously provoked.
"...We never want a war with anybody. If somebody continuously provokes us, we will give them a befitting reply like our jawans gave the reply recently," he said.
Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam had accused the BJP of indulging in politics over national interest and called the surgical strikes on terror camps as fake, the comments which were slammed by his own party.
