Modi trying to take personal credit for Balakot: Amarinder

Khatkar Kalan: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of trying to take personal credit for the action of the armed forces and said “surgical strike” was just a new jargon for cross-border raids.
“Modi is trying to take personal credit for the Balakot air strike. The prime minister had not done anything”, said Singh.
“Was he (Modi) there in 1965, 1975 or Kargil,” asked the CM, pointing out that it was former prime minister Indira Gandhi who did ‘tukdas’ (division) of Pakistan by breaking it into two in 1971 and gave full credit to the Indian Army and Field Marshal SHFJ Manekshaw.
Gandhi had attributed the victory to the valour of the Army, which is what Modi should have done now, he added.
