Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai, who triggered a controversy after displaying a toy Rafale aircraft decorated with lemons and chillies – and questioned when the Centre would crack down on terrorists – on Wednesday hailed the Indian Army for carrying out strikes at nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of the day.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Rai said: “I congratulate the Army. We always take pride in our Army… The entire country wanted those lemon chillies to be removed from the Rafale… I think wherever terrorism is flourishing, we need to eliminate it entirely.”
