#WATCH | Delhi: BJP member and former IAF chief Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria says, "Just some examples the audacious leadership, first was Balakot, it was not only a response to Pulwama in one stroke, but it also called the nuclear bluff of Pakistan. It showed the world how far we are going to go to ensure action against a terrorist act... Many of our strategists were saying that because Pakistan is nuclear, don't even think of crossing the border... What happened after Galwan...the Chinese policy of trying to get some land here and there is now history. Never ever is China going to succeed in any such attempt... Wwhen Galwan happened, Rafael was the strongest equipment that we had in our inventory and the Chinese knew it..."
#WATCH | Fatehpur Sikri, UP: BJP leader and former IAF chief, Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria (Retd.), says, "When BJP came to power, PM Modi made a clear policy of zero tolerance against terrorism. When a terror incident occurred and perpetrators hid across the border, a surgical strike was done across the LoC. When Pulwama terror attack occurred, the launchpads across the border went underground. They were searched for and found. Balakot strike was done at that time. It was an important step and a strong message...No such (terror) incident happened after that...This (airstrike) was done by breaking through Pakistan's Air Force and Army protection and we suffered no losses. It was a successful operation...We were prepared for every situation...If someone spreads terror in our country, they will be targetted wherever they hide...The meaning is clear - zero tolerance, we won't tolerate terrorism."
