Captain Amarinder Singh targets Modi Govt

NEW DELHI: Punjab Congress chief and 1965 war veteran Amarinder Singh attacked the government over what he alleged “mishandling” of the Pathankot operation, and questioned the deployment of NSG instead of the Army, which he said is better in counter-insurgency.

He said by bringing the National Security Guard (NSG) those at the helm may have certainly “glamourised and romanticised” the operation, but they have also ended up with “more loss of precious lives of our soldiers”. “Even after the passage of seven days nobody is sure whether all militants have been flushed out or not.”
