Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Opposition for questioning the Indian Air Force's Balakot airstrike, saying whenever "Pakistan is unmasked", its supporters in India take its side.

Addressing a public rally in Uttar Pradesh's Amroha, Modi said, "It worries some people that we killed terrorists. When we kill our enemies, some people in India shed tears." "When Pakistan is unmasked in front of the whole world, these very people take Pakistan's side."
