In a scathing attack, BJP leader JP Nadda slammed former prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and said that Congress party must stop insulting our forces repeatedly and question their valour. Nadda tweeted, "Dear Dr. Singh and Congress Party, Please stop insulting our forces repeatedly, questioning their valour. You did this post the air strikes and surgical strikes. Please understand the true meaning of national unity, especially in such times. It’s never too late to improve." He further tweeted, “Dr. Manmohan Singh belongs to the same party which helplessly surrendered over 43,000 KM of Indian territory to the Chinese! During the UPA years saw abject strategic and territorial surrender without a fight. Time and again belittles our forces.”
