Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday slammed Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi for questioning the Indian Army's surgical strikes in Pakistani territory following the Uri attack.

Chandigarh (Haryana) [India], May 13 (HBTV): Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday slammed Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi for questioning the Indian Army's surgical strikes in Pakistani territory following the Uri attack.

CM Saini accused Channi of speaking in ‘someone else's language’ rather than expressing his own thoughts. He termed Channi's remarks as ‘unfortunate’ and questioned how he could ignore such a major terrorist incident.

‘Yeh kahi aur ki bhasha bol rahe hai, apni bhasha nahi bol rahe (He is speaking someone else's language, not his own). This is unfortunate. Can't he see such a big attack? He could not even see the Uri attack?’ CM Saini said while participating in the 'Walk for Drug-Free Chandigarh' event.

On Friday, former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi had cast doubts on the surgical strikes, claiming he had always demanded proof of the operation.

‘Till date, I could not find where the (surgical) strike took place, where men were killed at that time, and where this happened in Pakistan. Will we not find out if a bomb is dropped in our country? They say that they did a surgical strike in Pakistan. Nothing had happened. Nowhere was a surgical strike seen. Nobody came to know... I have always demanded (proof),’ Channi said at a press conference.

Responding to Channi's remarks, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said the Congress leader’s comments reflect the ‘dirty mentality of the Gandhi family’.

‘Congress has again raised questions on the Indian Air Force. Former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi has once again said that he does not believe in the surgical strike, and he wants proof of the surgical strike. What kind of mentality is this of the Congress party, the Gandhi family, Rahul Gandhi, that they keep questioning the army, the Indian Air Force?’ Sirsa said.

‘Pakistan itself is saying that India has caused a lot of damage by conducting surgical strikes... Charanjit Singh Channi has again shown the dirty politics and dirty mentality of the Gandhi family, who always question the army and demoralise the forces. I condemn this,’ he added.
