In an interview to TOI, the minister accused Congress of twisting the remark for narrow political gains. Excerpts:Those who have questioned the credibility of our forces are committing a sin, which has no redemption. The jawans are sacrificing their lives just to ensure that we carry on with our routine. As far as BJP is concerned, it is wrong to say that the party is boasting about the surgical strikes. Rather, we are taking pride in the achievement of our armed forces.The nation is eternally indebted to the Indian Army and paramilitary forces.
