Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday asked the Opposition to “use common sense” and chided it for questioning his statement that if India had had Rafale fighters during the current engagements with Pakistan, “the results would have been different”.
He appeared to suggest his comment had been about the February 27 dogfight between Indian and Pakistani air force jets rather than India’s February 26 air strikes on a Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camp in Balakot, Pakistan.
“I said that had the Rafale been acquired in time, it would have made a difference, but they say Modi is questioning our air force strikes,” he told a gathering here.
