TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ In a potential controversial statement, Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has said had the BJP government known opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi would ask for proof of Balakot strike then they would have attached one of their leaders to the missile fired on Pakistan.
“Only Pakistan and Congress party’s Rahul Gandhi were asking for proof of Balakot air strike. If we had known about it earlier, then one of your leaders could have been attached with a missile which was fired on Pakistan to go and see what our armed forces have done,” said Fadnavis while addressing a public rally here on Tuesday.
He
later clarified that he had made the remarks in jest. “Pakistan and
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi always used to ask for proof of Balakot airstrike,
so I jokingly said if we would have known about it, one of your leaders could
have been attached with a missile fired on Pakistan and then you could have
seen what our jawans did,” Fadnavis said.
