NEW DELHI: Union Minister Jitendra Singh Friday asked if then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi can be credited for the victory in the 1971 war, why shouldn’t Prime Minister Narendra Modi get the credit for a successful air strike in Balakot.
Singh, the Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, said, that throughout the Lok Sabha election campaign, the Congress and its allies have been attacking the BJP and the PM for allegedly taking credit for the successful strikes by the Indian Air Force on terror camps in Pakistan’s Balakot.
Since Independence, whenever there was an armed conflict with a foreign nation, the credit or discredit obviously went to the ruling dispensation and its head, he said. (AGENCIES)
