Surgical-strikes video: Government seeks Congress' apology

Earlier today, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala, while interacting with media said the BJP "shamelessly" used the surgical strikes for their benefit during the assembly election in Uttar Pradesh. "The nation needs to be cautioned, whenever Modi

Government starts failing, whenever Amit Shah's BJP starts losing, they misuse the valour of the Army for their political benefit," Surjewala had stated.

Rijiju, while speaking exclusively to ANI, said, "I am very surprised that the Congress party which ruled India for more than 5 decades is speaking in the tune of separatists. The army has done something extraordinary in the national interest by performing the surgical strike, but the Congress party demanded proof. Now that video evidence has emerged, they are saying this is for publicity."

"I fail to understand what level of politics Congress is playing. Due to years of corruption, the people of India have rejected Congress. That doesn't mean that out of desperation they should speak and act in tune with Pakistani establishments and separatists. Congress should apologise to the nation for this," he added.

Nearly a couple of years after the Indian Army launched surgical strikes on terror launchpads in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, POK, across the Line of Control, the video of the attack is finally out. The video of the surgical strikes, accessed by Zee News, shows Army officials demolishing terror launch pads on the intervening night of September 28 and 29, 2016. 

The video footage was originally captured through drones and cameras mounted atop the helmets of the commandos. 

The strikes came in response to the Uri military base attack carried out by Pakistan-based terrorists.
