Mamata Banerjee demands 'details of Balakot air strike should be made public'

The inaction towards the intelligence failure in the past has led to major attacks and Mamata mentioned it, saying “Nothing happened in the past five years. There have been terror attacks in Uri and Pathankot but no action was taken. The government had received an advisory regarding the attacks, but no preventive action was taken and their (jawans’) lives were endangered.”

While criticism immediately came from the ruling BJP, wherein BJP’s national secretary Rahul Sinha reacted to Mamata Banejee’s statement for raising questions over the air strike.

“Banerjee is disrespecting the position of her chair by making such comments. She is indirectly encouraging terrorist activities in Pakistan by doubting the air strike conducted by the Indian Air Force. This is unfortunate that the chief minister of a state made such a statement,” said Sinha.
