Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday lashed out at the opposition for asking how many of India’s aircraft were shot down during Operation Sindoor.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha during a discussion on Operation Sindoor, the Defence Minister also said that none of India’s soldiers were harmed during the operation.
