"They questioned our armed forces after the surgical strikes. When the airstrikes were conducted (in Pakistan's Balakot), they asked for proof. Congress never leaves a stone unturned to insult our armed forces," said Modi as quoted by news agency PTI.

PM Modi spoke in reference to the 2019 Balakot airstrike conducted by India's armed forces on terrorist camps in Pakistan. The airstrike was done after Pakistan-supported terrorists carried out the Pulwama terror attack which claimed the lives of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans.

In 2019 after the Balakot airstrikes, the Congress party had criticised the BJP government for taking political benefits out of it. Meanwhile, current INDIA bloc ally West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had asked the government whether the airstrikes missed their target.

On Sunday, PM Modi also chaired the Chief Ministers' Conclave at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. BJP national president JP Nadda and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were also present during the conclave. Notably, the BJP-led NDA is targeting to secure more than 400 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
