As Government of India is yet to comment on the number of casualties after the IAF strikes in Balakot and IAF chief declining to comment on the issue, many Congress leaders have questioned the strikes and have asked for proof.
While Punjab Minister and Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu questioned if it was an election gimmick, former Union Minister P. Chidambaram asked who put the number of casualties at 300-350.
IAF Vice Air Marshal declined to comment on casualties. MEA statement said there were no civilian or military casualties. So, who put out the number of casualties as 300-350?

In another tweet, Chidambaram said:As a proud citizen I am prepared to believe my government. But if we want the world to believe, government must make the effort, not indulge in Opposition-bashing.

Senior party leader Kapil Sibal has also sought proof of the strikes destroying the biggest camp of Jaish-e-Mohammad in Pakistan and accused Narendra Modi of politicising the issue.Modiji :
Is international media :
1) New York Times
2) London based Jane’s Information Group
3) Washinton Post
4) Daily Telegraph
5) The Guardian
6) Reutersreporting no proof of militant losses at Balakot pro-Pakistan ?
You are guilty of politicising terror ?

Earlier, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh had questioned the air strike in Pakistan and demanded proof.
300 terrorist dead, Yes or No?
What was the purpose then? Were you uprooting terrorist or trees? Was it an election gimmick?
Deceit possesses our land in guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
Stop politicising the army, it is as sacred as the state.
