New Delhi | Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement on the using clouds as cover to escape the Pakistani radar during the February 26 air strike in Balakot, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said that the logic is painfully embarrassing.
Taking on Twitter, the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister wrote, “No secret that Balakot strikes failed to hit the intended target. Was it because PM overruled the advice of IAF & authorised airstrikes in bad weather? Cloud cover logic is painfully embarrassing. Remind me again, why is RG derided as Pappu?”

She further added that BJPs ability to suspend logic in its quest to win another term is mind-numbingly fatuous. “I was raked over the coals for questioning veracity of Balakot strikes. But seeing Pak media & journos troll PM on cloud gaffe is awfully embarrassing. BJPs ability to suspend logic in its quest to win another term is mind numbingly fatuous. Our armed forces don’t deserve this,” wrote Mufti.
