What is ‘56-inch chest’ PM doing on Pak ceasefire violations: Cong
14 Aug 2014 4:59 AM IST
Congress on Tuesday agreed with prime minister Narendra Modi’s remarks that Pakistan was waging a ‘proxy war’ against India but attacked him at the same time over the instances of ceasefire violations by the neighbouring country since the NDA government came to power.
‘Twenty-five serious ceasefire violations have taken place in the last 60 days. Four of them in the last four days. What is being done by the prime minister, who has a 56-inch chest,’ Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said at an AICC briefing here.
But he added, ‘The view across the Indian political spectrum is... we know that more than a proxy war is being waged by Pakistan. The prime minister is stating a self-evident truth.’
Singhvi was asked to comment on remarks made by Modi during his visit to Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday in which he accused Pakistan of engaging in a proxy war and killing innocent people in India.
Modi said that the bigger number of casualties in the Army was caused by this and not through conventional warfare.
