Talking about the Indian airstrike in Balakot of Pakistan to destroy terrorist camps, Singh said India is longer a weak country but a few people are questioning the number of terrorists killed in the February 27 airstrike.

"Army jawans do not counts the bodies, those who are eagles count them. Should the army jawans stop there to count bodies," he said.

The home minister said that if former prime minister Indira Gandhi can be praised post the 1971 war with Pakistan, why can't Modi be hailed for giving a befitting reply to Pakistan.
