None on other side would have survived if we had Rafale: Modi

Jamnagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday asserted that the defence situation in the country would have been different if the Indian Air Force had Rafale fighter jets. “Not one this side would have gone and no one on the other would have survived,” he added.
Addressing a rally here, the prime minister called upon the Opposition, without naming it, to use “common sense” when it speaks about the Rafale jets.
“If the Indian Air Force had the Rafale today, the situation would have been different, but some people do not have it in them to understand this,” Modi said, adding “When I say this, they question the Air Force strikes.”
Modi added, ‘The nation agrees that the disease of terrorism has to be eliminated. I want to ask you, don’t you trust what our armed forces say?’ (IANS)
