Abuse Modi, not the soldiers: PM to Rahul on 'jumla strike'

July 20, 2018 21:59

The prime minister chides Rahul Gandhi, without naming him, on invoking Doklam and Rafale deal.

"One of the leaders spoke about Doklam. The same leader, who believed the Chinese Ambassador over our forces. What have we come to? Everything does not merit a childish conduct," the PM said.

"Due to one careless allegation in the House on Rafale, both nations had to release statements. My appeal to the Congress is please do not bring politics in national security," the PM said.

He came down heavily on the Congress president for using the phrase 'jumla strike'.

"You called the surgical strike a jumla strike? You can abuse me as much as you want. Stop insulting the jawans of India. I will not tolerate this insult to our armed forces," the PM said.
