Videos of the Spetember 29 surgical strikes on terror launchpads in Pakistan have ben submiited to the government, Union Minister of State, Home Affairs, Hansraj Gangaram Ahir, said on Ocotber 5.

"Yes, the videos have been submitted. There is a process, earlier documents were given. Now there are clips. So those have been handed over (by the army)," Ahir told media persons here.

His remarks were followed by demands from some political parties, asking the Indian government to release evidence of the surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC) in order to counter Pakistan's claims of the stirkes being fabricated and false.

Pakistan has stood firm in its position maintaing that there were no stikes within its territory. Instead, the nuclear-armed neighbour claims to have lost two soldiers in an "unprovoked" cross-border firing that was initiated by India.
