Those seeking proof of surgical strike should take Pakistan citizenship: Indian Minister Uma Bharti

According to a news report by Indian newspaper India Times, Indian Minister Uma Bharti backlashed the Indian politicians who are suspicious about Indian government's claims about surgical strikes on Pakistani soil across LOC.

"Those leaders who say that if Pakistan is demanding evidences about surgical strike, they should be given the evidences, such people should take the citizenship of Pakistan," Bharti said.

As per Indian newspaper reports, the Congress party had yesterday asked the government to put forth “credible” evidence of last week’s surgical strikes, carried out by the Army across the LoC, to “expose” Pakistan which has denied any such action.

Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam today raised doubt over the veracity of the Army’s surgical strikes suggesting it was “fake”, even as he accused BJP of indulging in politics over national interest.

“Every Indian wants surgical strikes against Pakistan but not a fake one to extract just political benefit by BJP. politics over national interest(sic),” Nirupam tweeted.

He also said it is upto the government to prove that the surgical strikes did take place.
