Top BJP leader admits IAF failure in Pakistan strike

NEW DELHI – Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and Union Minister of StateSurendrajeet Singh Ahluwalia has confessed the failure of the Indian AirForce strike in Pakistan.

He has admitted that the Indian Air Force’s “airstrikes” inside Pakistan todestroy alleged terrorist camps “did not cause much damage.”

Exposing the lies perpetrated by the war-mongering Indian media, thepolitician said, “I have read in the national as well as in theinternational media. I have also heard PM Modi in his first speech in Churuafter the airstrike. He had not said that 300 were killed.

“Has any spokesperson of BJP or party president Amit Shah claimed that?”S.S. Ahluwalia asked.

New Delhi’s claim of 300 casualties in the so-called air strikes inBalakot, Pakistan has been questioned not only worldwide but even bypolitical leaders and analysts within India.

Indian newspaper ‘Indian Express’ recently debunkedlinktheclaim by quoting top Indian government sources who said the assessment ofcasualties was “purely speculative”. It further said that India lackedground intelligence, while there were limitations of technical intelligenceas well.
