Pallavi Gosh, an Indian journalist, told Geo News on Thursday that The Director General of Military Operations Ranbir Singh did not present any evidence of surgical strike which the Indian army claims to have carried out across the Line of Control against militants.

“You have to believe veracity of military’s claim,” she said when Shahzeb Khanzada asked her whether Indian journalists who attended the media briefing of the DGMO demanded any evidence.

When asked as to why no evidence was sought by Indian media when their army claimed killing over 30 people across the border in surgical strikes, Gosh said the military will soon come up with evidence, without mentioning any date or time.

India, which claims to be the largest democracy in the world, has forced local media not to broadcast any news item about the army before an approval is given by the defence ministry.
