New Delhi: Amid demands for releasing proof of the surgical strikes by the Army across the LoC, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju today said everyone should have faith in the government and allow the force to take its own call.
"Have faith in the government and leave it to the Army," he told reporters in New Delhi when asked about the demand for release of proof of the surgical strikes by the Army.
A political slugfest broke out yesterday over surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the LoC with Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam calling it "fake", provoking stinging criticism from BJP even as his own party said it "totally dissociates" from his remarks.
With patriotic sentiments running high amid soaring tensions with Pakistan, Union Minister Uma Bharti said leaders who cast "doubt over the Army's surgical strike should take Pakistani citizenship".
