Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi barred leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party from talking to anyone over the strikes.

Earlier in a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Modi was unable to answer questions by the opposition which asked him to prove that the attack on the Line of Control was a surgical strike.

The Indian government was unable to provide any evidence of the alleged surgical strike, Indian media reported.

Several top officials including the Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval sat together to come up with a statement on alleged surgical strike but could not come to a conclusion.

Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday urged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to prove that surgical strikes took place across the LoC, while Chidambaram said Indian was over publicising the issue.

Shortly afterwards, Kejriwal became the victim of an ink attack by extremists as he was leaving the house of a local leader.

Pakistan Army after firmly denying Indian claims of surgical strikes also took independent journalists to the LoC at Baghsir, 20 kilometres from Bhimber to show the situation on the ground.

DG ISPR General Asim Saleem Bajwa stressed that while Pakistan had brought journalists to the LoC and was showing them the situation on the ground; India was not allowing the same access to its own people, which was suspicious.
