Ahir, the Minister of State for Home, said there is a process for putting such issues in perspective which was duly followed by the Army as well as the government.
Separately, Kiren Rijiju, also a MoS for Home, said “everyone should have faith in the government and allow the Army to take its own call”.
“The laid down procedure has been followed. The DGMO briefed (about the surgical strikes). It was not the Defence Minister nor the Prime Minister and not the Home Minister. It was the DGMO who briefed (the media). That was the right thing to do and they (Army) did it.
“There was a time when written documents were submitted. Now the times have changed. Now clips are given and the clips have been given,” Ahir told reporters.
The statements came amid demands that government release the footage of Army’s recent surgical strikes on terror launch pads in PoK.
