Hitting back at the BJP, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal Saturday said two former Army chiefs have noted that six surgical strikes were carried out between 2008 and 2014 and asked if the ruling party was implying that what they said was "a lie".
The BJP has accused the Congress of doing a U-turn on the issue of surgical strikes, saying the party which had earlier sought proof of cross-border actions from the Modi government, was now claiming that six such operations were carried out during its rule.
Hitting back, Sibal said, "Two (former) Army chiefs have said that six surgical strikes took place between 2008 and 2014. Is the BJP implying that it was a lie?"
