Parrikar rules out release of footage of surgical strikes

October 06, 2016 20:51

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today ruled out releasing the video footage of the army's surgical strikes across the LoC and questioned the

"loyalty" of those who "doubt" the forces.

Describing the cross-LoC operation as "100 per cent perfect surgical strike", he said the borders of the country are secure under the Narendra Modi government.

Parrikar's remarks at a function organised by the BJP in Agra to celebrate the strikes came a day after Prime Minister Modi had reportedly cautioned against hysteria over the army action at a meeting of the cabinet yesterday.

Parrikar warned that one has to remain vigilant against "certain elements who do not owe their loyalty to the country completely".
