Digital Desk: The Assam Police filed a case against Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for questioning the Indian Army and promoting anti-India sentiments by requesting proof of surgical strikes conducted in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Reportedly, the case was filed against the Telangana CM by the BJP supporters.
Notably, the development comes a day after Telangana Congress leaders filed criminal charges against Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma for making a “father-son” remark against Rahul Gandhi.
Earlier, the Telangana CM, speaking at a press conference, backed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s call for proof from the Modi government regarding the Army’s surgical strikes in September 2019.
“There is nothing wrong in asking for proof of surgical strike that the Indian army conducted in Pakistan.” he said.
“Even today, I am asking for the proof. Let the government of India show it (the proof). The BJP spreads incorrect information, which is why people demand it.” He added.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha, slamming Rao, stated, “There is no doubt in anyone’s mind about the Indian Army’s gallantry... May God give such person good sense so that they can think more clearly about the country and the Army.”
A few days ago, criticizing Telangana CM, Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma posted a video supposedly of the surgical strike and wrote, “Dear KCR Garu, here is the video graphics evidence of the surgical strike by our brave Army. Despite this, you question the valour of our Armed forces and insult them. Why are you so desperate to attack and malign our Army? New India will not tolerate insults against our Army,”
Sarma’s video includes screenshots of maps, satellite pictures, and chopped footage of several videos.
Since last week, the two CMs have been fighting over the issue of surgical strikes.
Notably, the row began on Friday, when CM Sarma speaking at an election rally, said, “Look at the mentality of these people’s. General Bipin Rawat was the country’s pride and joy. Under his command, India carried out a surgical attack in Pakistan. Rahul Gandhi insisted on seeing evidence of the strike. Have we ever asked you to prove that you are Rajiv Gandhi’s son? What right do you have to ask my Army for proof?”
Following this, Telangana CM appeals to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Jagat Prakash Nadda to remove Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma for his remarks about Rahul Gandhi.
After 19 Indian Army personnel were killed in Uri base camp in September 2016, the Indian Army launched surgical strikes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
