The Congress Party on Sunday (20 October) accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government of using the military for its political purpose and said, “surgical strike" always happens just before the elections. The comment was made by Congress's Akhilesh Singh, reports India Today.
The Congress party went on to allege that the government will now politicise the Indian Army's action on terror camps in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) to "divert the public's attention from the real issues". This was a direct reference to Haryana and Maharashtra assembly elections being held on Monday (21 October).
The Congress's politically motivated and unsubstantiated allegation came just hours after the Indian Army pounded terrorist camps in PoK.
The Indian Army on Sunday launched heavy artillery attacks targeting at least four terror camps and several Pakistani military positions along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, killing five Pakistani soldiers, government sources said.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain rubbished the Congress's statements on the Indian Army's action on Pak army posts and terror launch pads and said, "Congress will be decimated both in Haryana and Maharashtra. They will be down to single digits."
