Arvind Kejriwal has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a new video to expose "Pakistan's false propaganda" about the surgical strikes that were conducted by the army across the Line of Control last week.
Pakistan has denied that the strikes took place, and accused India of passing off cross-border firing as raids conducted across the de facto border.
Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, all but asked the government to release footage of the strikes which were conducted on seven terrorist launch pads or staging areas in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. Claiming that foreign media, appears to be backing Pakistan's claim, he says, "My blood boils to see such reports".
The 46-year-old chief minister, a habitual critic of PM Modi, made it clear in his nearly three minute-long video, "I may have 100 differences with the PM, but I salute him for his approach towards Pakistan."
The government has said that it will decide when and if to share evidence of last week's strikes. Footage and stills were recorded in part through drones, government sources have said.
"The PM knows how to answer Pakistan. Kejriwal should worry about freeing Delhi of dengue and chikungunya, instead of giving advice to the PM," said a caustic BJP spokesperson, RP Singh.
