“They (opposition) ask proof of surgical strikes. Now if they question this feat, they have to travel very high to check its authenticity,” he said at an election rally in Badaun, UP.
His remarks came hours after India successfully test-fired its interceptor missile off the Odisha coast, achieving a significant milestone in the direction of developing a two-layered Ballistic Missile Defence system.
