BJP hits back at Kejriwal on surgical strikes, says his utterances make headlines in Pakistan
"Mr Kejriwal, you need to know, today you are the headline in Pakistani media. Politics is separate but please don't do or say anything whereby our armed forces feel let down," union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
Kejriwal had urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a video to expose "Pakistan's false propaganda" about the surgical strikes, which the Army said had been filmed with the help of helmet mounted cameras, but were not made public.
Pakistan has denied that the strikes took place, and accused India of passing off cross-border firing as raids conducted across the de facto border.
Kejriwal, who is also the chief of Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party, asked the government to release footage of the strikes, saying "My blood boils to see such reports".
