“We formed a government in Kashmir and were able to complete three-four important tasks. Work done... Then we left the government, made a sacrifice,” he said.
“In alliance, we had to carry out operations... 250 to 300 terrorists were eliminated. The Army, police, NIA and Intelligence Bureau were given a free hand to destroy the (terror) funding network,” Kumar said.
The RSS leader said that the surgical strikes weren’t possible without the support of the J&K government. He, however, did not mention the PDP.
“We carried out surgical strikes. It was a message to Pakistan that we can enter Lahore anytime. So, be careful,” he said.
Kumar said he dreams of an “Akhand Bharat” and exhorted the audience to “construct a house in Nagpur and another in Lahore or Rawalpindi”.
