Union Minister for Tourism G. Kishan Reddy has condemned the comments made by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao allegedly insulting the armed forces.
“I strongly condemn the irresponsible statement of Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao against the Indian armed forces. The fact that this came on the eve of the anniversary of the Pulwama attack shows the insensitivity, irresponsibility, ignorance that is unbecoming of a Chief Minister. Questioning the Prime Minister or the government is a democratic right of any leader. However, insulting our patriotic armed forces is extremely unfortunate. This after Pakistan’s open admission of the conspiracy of Pulwama in which 40 brave CRPF jawans laid down their lives for the country for which India retaliated with surgical strikes on the terror camps at Balakot,” said Mr. Kishan Reddy in statement on Monday.
