TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said BJP president Amit Shah took a stand contradictory to that of the armed forces over the number of terrorists killed in the air strikes on terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed’s training camps in Pakistan. On Sunday, Mr Shah said the air strikes killed more than 250 terrorists, while the armed forces have not put out any official figure.
“The armed forces are also saying this. Amit Shah is saying that the armed forces are lying, 250 (terrorists) were killed. Amit Shah is calling the armed forces a liar. The country will not tolerate this under any circumstances,” Mr Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi, referring to a news report which quotes Union Minister SS Ahluwalia as saying that the purpose of the strike was to send a message and not to kill.
In another tweet, the Delhi chief minister said the whole country stands with the armed forces while the BJP stands against them. “The armed forces cannot lie but the BJP is lying. The whole country stands with the armed forces but BJP stands against them,” Mr Kejriwal said.
