The Indian Government has all the ammunition to silence those who think the surgical strikes on terror hubs in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) and may release the video footages soon.
TheIndian Army has given its nod to the government to release the footage and the final nod is awaited from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) side.
Since the surgical strikes, leaders in the Opposition parties such as P Chidambaram, Arvind Kejriwal and Congress' Sanjay Nirupam have asked for 'proof ' of the strikes.
Top government officials told ET that the decision on whether or not to release the strike footage will depend on the larger call on likely Pakistani response. One possibility being considered is whether making the video evidence public may escalate Indo-Pak tensions by forcing the Pakistani establishment into a corner.
As per reports, there is evidence to show the cross-border strikes were highly effective and there are photographs, shot by both ground troops and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
"There is no doubt at all that the strikes inflicted heavy damage. Proof is available with the government that clearly shows our troops engaging the targets effectively,” a senior government official told ET.
