'Misleading nation': Oppn hits out at govt over CDS's remarks

The Opposition on Saturday accused the Centre of "misleading the nation" and reiterated its demand for a special Parliament session on Operation Sindoor after Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan said that India lost fighter jets on the opening day of the recent military confrontation with Pakistan due to tactical mistakes.

NEW DELHI:

In an interview to Bloomberg TV in Singapore, General Chauhan said: "What is important is not the jet being down, but why they were being downed. What mistakes were made -- those are important. Numbers are not important. The good part is that we were able to understand the tactical mistake which we made, remedy it, rectify it, and then implement it again after two days and flew our jets again, targeting at long range."
