Ramdas Athawale says no record of surgical strikes during UPA rule, defends Operation Sindoor

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Thursday said he was unaware of any surgical strike being conducted during the Congress-led UPA regime, asserting that there is no information available to support such a claim. He maintained that all known surgical strikes were carried out under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, including the recent Operation Sindoor, which he said was necessary to send a strong message to Pakistan.
