CPI hits out at Shah for claiming 250 terrorists killed in Balakot

The CPI on Monday questioned BJP president Amit Shah's claim of 250 casualties in the Indian Air Force's air strike on terror camps in Pakistan's Balakot and accused the BJP and RSS of politicising the armed forces.

CPI leader D Raja said the prime minister cannot accused the opposition for demoralising the armed forces as "it is him (Modi), the BJP and the RSS which are dragging the defence forces into 'dirty politics' and 'controversies'."
