Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) president Arvind Kejriwal, taking 360 degree turn from his usual stand, hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decisiveness to act against terror and Islamabad with a surgical strike and urged him to wage a war against the dirty propaganda being spread by Pakistan against India.
Accepting that he has differences with the Prime Minister on various fronts, Kejriwal on through his message published on YouTube said that he saluted move by the PM to carry out surgical strikes against active terror launch pads in PoK.
He said, “"19 jawans lost their lives in Uri and the Indian Army took revenge for that last week and carried out surgical strikes in terror launch pads. I may have 100 disagreements with the Prime Minister on several issues, but I salute the will power shown by him in this matter.”
We fully support PM on surgical strikes. Urge him to similarly counter Pak's dirty propaganda. Do watch this msghttps://t.co/jk1CvYmcan

Kejriwal said that after the surgical strikes, Pakistan is spreading dirty propaganda against India and the Indian Army to save its image.
The Delhi CM said, “We have seen in the past two weeks that Pakistan is taking international journalists to the border and trying to show them that no surgical strike happened in the first place. Two days ago, the United Nations gave a statement that no untoward activity has been spotted on the border. CNN ran a report that Pakistan government took a bus filled with international journalists to prove that no such strike took place, and that people are living regularly and that enraged me to no end.”
Citing reports from the international news portals such as BBC and New York Time questioning the existence of such an operation by India, Kejriwal said that Pakistan is working hard to insult India on an international platform.
He, then, appealed the PM to expose Pakistan’s propaganda and attempts to malign India in the same way the Indian Army took revenge for the deadly Uri Attack.
He said, “I appeal to the nation not to fall for Pakistan's false propaganda.”
