"The Congress is politically bankrupt and its comments out of frustration proves it," Kalia said in a press note.
"When the entire world is congratulating the Indian Army and the government for its anti-terrorism operation (surgical strikes), the Congress and its leaders are playing the role of an irresponsible opposition," the BJP leader alleged.
"Rahul Gandhi's remarks 'khoon ki dalali' on the surgical strikes is shameful. Such comments will lower the army's morale," he said.
"They (Congress) instead of making useless comments on the army's surgical strikes should either remain silent or use responsible language," he added.
