‘Ghost of Balakot’ was placed to rest: Air Force head on Operation vermilion video – Watch | Bharat News
New Delhi: Air Force chief Marshal AP Singh on Saturday regretted the lack of video evidence on Balakot AIRRIRAR, a difference that doubted the influence of opposition leaders. He said that the issue was addressed during Operation Sindoor, where the recorded footage of air strikes called the ghost of Balakot.“In Balakot, we could not find anything from inside, and it became a big issue that was trying to tell our own people, unfortunately, as we were able to get. Whatever we had had, we had intelligence (human type of intelligence), where we had a very clear picture inside, which had heavy damage. There are many terrorists who have been neutralized, but we cannot explain to our own people that, we have achieved this, “he said,” he said while addressing a gathering at HAL Management Academy.“Such things would have given us the same problem (about Operation Sindoor). However, we were lucky that we got these videos in the open. So, I am very happy that this time we were able to take care of that ghost of Balkot, and we were able to tell the world what we have achieved,” he said.Several opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, sought a evidence on the Balakot air strike, which were carried out in response to the Pulwama terror attack, claiming the lives of at least 40 CRPF soldiers.“I read in newspapers that the families of CRPF Jawans have increased the demand. This is their feeling and Congress leaders have also spoken about it and it has happened. I do not want to go to this issue. It is a feeling among the families of Jawans that we are hurt and we should be shown what has been done,” Rahul Gandhi said.Recently, Congress MP and former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi questioned the Balakot surgical strike, reiterating his long -standing demand for evidence of the operation.“To date, I could not know where (surgical) strike took place, where men were killed at the time, and where this happened in Pakistan. Will we not know if a bomb was dropped in our country? They say that there was a surgical strike in Pakistan. They had not seen anything. Any surgical strike was seen.”
