Former Chief Minister of Indian Punjab and Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi has strongly criticized the Narendra Modi-led government, questioning the legitimacy and transparency of India’s claimed surgical strikes in Pakistan.
Speaking to media, Channi said, “To this day, it remains unclear where exactly India carried out surgical strikes in Pakistan. How many were killed? No one knows. If a bomb were dropped in India, wouldn't everyone know about it?”
Channi demanded evidence of the strikes, adding, “The Modi government claims to have conducted a surgical strike, but we’ve seen no such action. They must present proof and also clarify who was responsible for the Pulwama attack.”
The controversy escalated after Channi’s remarks triggered outrage from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which accused him of siding with Pakistan and undermining India’s security narrative.
Separately, a former Bangladeshi general was also quoted saying that if India attacks Pakistan, Bangladesh could consider launching a counterattack on India — a remark that further inflamed regional tensions.
