Farooq Abdullah asks to provide evidence for claim on deaths in IAF airstrike
"Where is the proof when Amit Shah says 300 died? Where is the proof of those 300? asks Farooq.
NEW DELHI (Dunya News) – National Conference (NC) leader Farooq Abdullah has asked Narendra Modi government to provide evidence for the claim on the killing of alleged militants in the airstrike in Pakistan’s Balakot.
"Where is the proof when Amit Shah says 300 died? Where is the proof of those 300? And (when) you ask, you are anti-national, you are against the country," said Farooq.
The latest confrontation between the neighbours erupted after a suicide bombing in Indian Occupied Kashmir killed over 40 Indian troops on February 14.
Twelve days later Indian warplanes violated Pakistani airspace and dropped payload in haste as they were chased by Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets.
It was the first such aerial raid since their last war in 1971 - before either country had nuclear weapons.
Pakistan denied casualties or damage in the incident and shot down Indian jets, capturing its pilot.
