The army has shown its capability with last month’s “surgical strikes” on militant bases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday, comparing the military to that of Israel, known for conducting covert operations inside enemy territory.
Speaking at a rally in Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi, Modi credited the military for its anti-militancy operations across the Line of Control and said everyone was talking about the Indian Army.
“Israel used to do it earlier; now the Indian Army has shown it is no less capable,” PTI quoted Modi as saying.
