Oppn never asked how many Pakistani planes Indian Armed forces shot down: Rajnath Singh in LS

“Few members of the Opposition have been asking how many of our aircraft were shot down? I feel their question does not adequately represent our national sentiments,” Rajnath Singh said.

“If they must ask a question, it should be whether India destroyed terrorist bases, and the answer to that is, yes,” Rajnath Singh said

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, while speaking the Lok Sabha in the ongoing Monsoon Session, slammed the Opposition parties asking for a discussion on Operation Sindoor launched in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack and said they have not asked the right questions so far.

They have not asked how many enemy aircraft that Indian Armed Forces shot down, Rajnath Singh said.

“Few members of the Opposition have been asking how many of our aircraft were shot down? I feel their question does not adequately represent our national sentiments,” he said.

“If they must ask a question, it should be whether India destroyed terrorist bases, and the answer to that is, yes,” Singh said.

The defence minister further said, if the Opposition has to ask a question, it should be whether Operation Sindoor was a success. “The answer is yes,” he said.

“Were terror heads destroyed? Yes. If you have a question to ask, ask this: Were any of our brave soldiers harmed in this operation? The answer is, no, none of our soldiers were harmed..." the defence minister said.
