Darpan News Desk IANS, 02 May, 2019 08:31 PM

    With the BJP highlighting the issue of nationalism in the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress on Thursday said multiple surgical strikes were carried out during the tenure of Congress-led UPA government.


    Senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala said in a tweet: “Multiple surgical strikes took place during our tenure too. For us, military ops were meant for strategic deterrence & giving a befitting reply to anti-India forces than to be used for vote garnering exercises.” He also attached an interview of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh given to a national daily.

    On January 6, 2013, a third surgical strike was carried out in which Sawan Patra checkpost in Pakistan was targeted, Surjewala said.
