New Delhi [India], May 9 (ANI): Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit on Friday lashed out at Pakistan amidst heightened tensions and escalation, stating that the actions undertaken by the neighbouring country and its army were “cowardly”.
He said that Pakistan doesn’t dare to “fight with dignity” since it was attacking India’s cities and civilians in Poonch.
“We attacked their terror hotspots, and they attacked our civilians. If they want war, then they will get war,” Dikshit told ANI, adding, “All the acts done by Pakistan and its army are cowardly. They do not have the courage to fight with dignity. Killing innocent civilians in Pahalgam was that not cowardice? Tell me one thing they have done with dignity in the last 40-50 years.”
He stated that Pakistan was “trapped” between its destruction and the fight for its “fake self-respect”.
“The Pakistan army cannot grasp the beehive they have disturbed… We have practised restraint earlier. Now, Pakistan is trapped. On one side, there is its destruction, and on the other side, there is this fight for its fake self-respect,” Dikshit said.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Pawan Khera asserted that the neighbouring country must understand that India remains superior in technology.
He said that India’s credibility was also greater since, unlike Pakistan, it doesn’t attack civilian establishments. Khera said that India has only attacked terrorist camps, which was in response to the ghastly Pahalgam terrorist attack, but Pakistan was attacking civilian areas.
“Pakistan should understand that India had technical superiority. India’s credibility across the globe is more since we are not like Pakistan, which would attack civilian establishments. We have only attacked terrorist camps in response (to Pahalgam terror attack). Pakistan is still not ready to stop its misdeeds. They are still trying to attack civilian areas. The global community needs to pay attention to this,” Khera told ANI.
This comes as India and Pakistan have been at loggerheads against each other after terrorist camps were destroyed at nine locations in the neigbouring country under Operation Sindoor, which was launched in response to the ghastly Pahalgam terrorist attack.
The Border Security Forces (BSF) foiled a major infiltration attempt along the International Boundary in the Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir earlier.
Additionally, defence sources confirmed that the Indian Army shot down two Pakistani drones in the Naushera sector of Jammu and Kashmir. The drones were intercepted amid a heavy exchange of artillery fire between Indian and Pakistani forces. (ANI)
