Opposition's remarks on Balakot airstrikes have hurt India's interest: Arun Jaitley

India Today  

Taking on the opposition over the issue of airstrikes in Balakot, Union minister Arun Jaitley said the doubts raised by Congress and other pasties over the veracity of the IAF action has hurt the national interest. Not only do they give smiles to Pakistan, they become an important instrument in Pakistan's hands to discredit India," Arun Jaitley said on Sunday in a blog post titled 'India's Opposition has a lot to learn'. Slamming a resolution passed by 21 Opposition parties in which they accused the Prime Minister of politicising the Pulwama and Balakot incidents, Arun Jaitley called the statement inappropriate. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also featured in Arun Jaitley's point-to-point rebuttal.
