All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi has slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking a sortie in Tejas when «soldiers were getting killed» in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district.
Owaisi's attack came after PM Modi flew a sortie in the indigenously designed, developed, and manufactured Tejas Twin Seat Light Combat Fighter aircraft in Bengaluru on Saturday.
Owaisi, who was addressing an election campaign gathering in Hyderabad, said, «It's crazy of Prime Minister that he is taking a joy ride in a fighter jet… Jets are of the country… when soldiers are getting killed in Rajouri,» said Owaisi on Saturday.
Five soldiers, including two Army captains, lost their lives in the encounter that broke out between terrorists and a joint team of the Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police in the Bajimaal area of Rajouri district on Wednesday.
