Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on 24 January 2023 attempted to distance the party from the controversy sparked by Digvijaya Singh who said a day earlier that the Narendra Modi government has not given proof that a surgical strike was conducted against terrorist camps on Pakistan-occupied territory.
"We disagree with Digvijaya Singh's views. The views of the party are above Digvijaya Singh's views," Rahul Gandhi said at a press conference in Jammu.
"The views of the party are generated from a conversation. Digvijaya Singh's views are outlying views. They are not views held by the party. We are absolutely crystal clear - the armed forces do a job and they do the job exceptionally well. They don't need to be providing proof," Gandhi said.
