Congress spells out three strikes UPA carried out

October 05, 2016 16:12

The Congress on Monday claimed the UPA II, like the NDA government, had also conducted "surgical strikes' -- but without making them public. The party listed three dates -- September 1, 2011; July 28, 2013; and, January 14, 2014 -- when the strikes took place.

The Manmohan Singh government, known for its publicly stated policy of "strategic restraint", was in power at the time. While the strikes were not made public, a look at events around those dates offers some clues into what could have transpired.
