"The truth always prevails and is always the best policy. BJP's attempt to win elections through whipping up war hysteria and false claims of downing a Pak F-16 has backfired with US Defence officials also confirming that no F-16 was missing from Pakistan's fleet," he said in a tweet. The Indian Air Force has reiterated that it shot down a PAF F-16 on February 27.

All F-16 combat jets of the Pakistan Air Force are accounted for, a US-based magazine said in a report, citing two unidentified American defence officials, contradicting an account put out by India.
