‘Those Questioning IAF Air Strike Casualty Figures Can Be Tied To The Plane During Next Operation’: V K Singh

Former army chief and the current Minister of State for External Affairs V K Singh has slammed the opposition parties for question the Indian Air Force strike in Pakistan’s Balakot, ANI has reported.

The former general was quoted as saying that, “next time India conducts such operations, the opposition leaders who raise such questions can be tied to the plane and taken to the attack site”.

He added that the opposition leaders can thus see the bombed target and can be left there to count casualties before coming back. He also expressed befuddlement over the opposition’s stance and commented that if they want, they can go and see the damage.

He rhetorically asked would people not be killed if 1,000 kg bombs exploded and buildings were hit during the air strike. He asserted that raising such questions repeatedly for political purposes is not good for the country.

A few hours ago he had sarcastically tweeted asking whether one counts the number of mosquitoes killed by mosquito repellents at night:

His comments were in context of various opposition leaders seeking proof of both the air strikes and consequently of the number of terrorists eliminated.
