Since February 26, Congress has questioned the air strikes by India. Former Union Minister Kapil Sibal while questioning PM Modi pointed out to some news reports saying Balakot airstrikes did not kill terrorists in Pakistan. Congress MP Ajay Singh also said that truth will be exposed in the next ten days.

Earlier Today, PM Modi said that after the IAF's air strikes Pakistan was so scared that it started crying ‘Modi ne maara, Modi ne maara’ (Modi hit us, Modi hit us). "We were quiet because we didn't want to wake people up at 3 am. But it was Pakistan who was so scared that they began tweeting at 5 am in the morning," he said.
