don t agree with digvijaya s views  rahul firefights surgical strike row

Jammu and Kashmir [India]: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday distanced himself from senior party leader Digvijaya Singh’s remarks over the authenticity of surgical strikes in the aftermath of the 2019 Pulwama attack and said the army doesn’t need to provide any proof as he combated the fallout of Singh’s remarks calling them ‘outlying’ or views held by the fringe.

This comes after Digvijaya Singh said there is no proof of the 2019 surgical strike against Pakistan, while the Centre claims to have carried out the attack. Disagreeing with Singh’s remarks, Rahul Gandhi said that those were Singh’s personal views. Rahul Gandhi, who is currently in Jammu for the Bharat Jodo Yatra, said that Digvijaya’s views are outlying.

‘We don’t appreciate Digvijaya Singh’s personal views. His views are outlying views. We are absolutely clear that the Armed Forces do their job exceptionally well and they do not need to provide proof of that,’ said Rahul Gandhi during a press conference.

He also spoke about his meeting with a delegation of Kashmiri Pandits, who have complained that they have been used for political gains.

‘I met a delegation of Kashmiri Pandits yesterday. They have expressed that they feel they are being disrespected and used for political gains. They requested me to raise their issues in parliament,’ said the Congress MP.

When asked about the banned BBC documentary, he said that the truth always comes out and no amount of banning can suppress the truth from coming out.
