New Delhi: The Army has handed over to the government video clips of the cross-LoC surgical strikes as per laid down procedure, Union minister Hansraj Ahir said on Wednesday, amid a growing chorus that evidence of the operation on terror launch pads in PoK be made public.
Mr Ahir, the minister of state for home, said there is a process for putting such issues in perspective which was duly followed by the Army as well as the government. Separately, Mr Kiren Rijiju, also an MoS for home, said everyone should have faith in the government and allow the Army to take its own call.
“The laid down procedure has been followed. The DGMO briefed (about the surgical strikes). It was not the defence minister nor the Prime Minister and not the Home Minister. It was the DGMO who briefed (the media). That was the right thing to do and they (Army) did it,” Mr Ahir told the media.
