New Delhi [India], May 3 (ANI): Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa slammed former Punjab Chief Minister and Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi for casting doubts on the 2019 surgical strikes conducted by the Indian armed forces following the Pulwama terror attack, which claimed the lives of several CRPF personnel.
Sirsa condemned the statement given by the Congress MP and said that the Gandhi family and Congress have consistently betrayed the country. He added that sometimes they speak China’s language by demanding proof of a surgical strike and it is very clear that Congress is speaking Pakistan’s language.
“I strongly condemn the statement given by Charanjit Singh Channi…Gandhi family and people of Congress have always betrayed the country. They sometimes speak the language of China and when you are asking for proof of the surgical strike, it is clear that you are speaking the language of Pakistan…Congress was never loyal to the country and will never be”, he told reporters.
Furthermore, BJP MP Sambit Patra also launched a scathing attack against the Congress after its leader Charanjit Singh Channi demanded proof for the surgical strikes carried out by the armed forces, labelling the party’s working committee (CWC) as the Pakistan Working Committee.
“From the outside, they are the Congress Working Committee (CWC), but from the inside, they are PWC (Pakistan Working Committee),” Patra said in a press conference.
He said that it was the planning of the opposition party to hold a parallel press conference and cast doubts over the surgical strike carried out by the armed forces in retaliation against the 2019 Pulwama attack.
“CWC meeting was held yesterday, and some proposals were passed. Hathi ke daant dikhane ke aur, khane ke aur (A wolf in sheep’s clothing). Right after that, a press conference was held, and former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi said that the surgical strike had never been conducted after the Pulwama terrorist attack,” Patra said.
Meanwhile, the remarks made by former Punjab Chief Minister and Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi stoked controversy by demanding proof of the surgical strikes carried out by the Indian armed forces in Pakistan territory in the past under the BJP government in the centre. Casting doubts over the strikes, the former Punjab CM said that he has always demanded proof.
“To date, I could not find where the (surgical) strike took place, where men were killed at that time, and where this happened in Pakistan. Will we not find out if a bomb is dropped in our country? They say that they did a surgical strike in Pakistan. Nothing had happened. Nowhere was a surgical strike seen. Nobody came to know…I have always demanded (proof). But today, people’s wounds need to be tended to. We demand that the Government do something. Tell people who they (perpetrators of the Pahalgam Terrorist Attack) are and punish them,” Channi said at a press conference. (ANI)
