MUMBAI (Kashmir English): Former Maharashtra CM and senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan says, “On the first day (of Operation Sindoor), we were completely defeated.
He made this shocking revelation in a media talk, saying that “In the half-hour aerial engagement that took place on the 7th, we were fully defeated, whether people accept it or not.”
He added that Indian aircraft were shot down. The Air Force was completely grounded, and not a single aircraft flew.
The ex-CM Chavan said that “If any aircraft had taken off from Gwalior, Bathinda, or Sirsa, there was a high probability of being shot down by Pakistan, which is why the Air Force was fully grounded.”
