Here's what General VK Singh said after Congress claimed four of its UPA's six 'Surgical Strikes' were under his tenure as Chief of Army Staff

In a massive embarrassment to the Congress party amidst claims that they had conducted 6 surgical strikes during their tenure, former Chief of the Army Staff General Vijay Kumar Singh said that Congress has a habit of lying and that there had been no surgical strikes during his tenure.

Taking to Twitter, General V K Singh slammed the party on their claims of ‘So-called Surgical Strike’ and said that he is sure Congress must have hired someone to 'invent another story.'

Gen VK Singh served as the 24th Chief of the Army Staff, from 2010 to 2012. The list given by the Congress party had claimed four surgical strikes under his tenure. According to the list given by Congress leader Rajiv Shukla, surgical strikes during the UPA-era were:

1. June 19, 2008, in Bhattal Sector of Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir
2. August 30 -  September 1, 2011, in Sharda Sector, across Neelam River Valley in Kel
3. January 6, 2013, in Sawan Patra checkpost 
4. July 27 - July 28, 2013, at Nazapir Sector
5. August 6, 2013, in Neelam Valley
6. January 14, 2014 (Army Chief, General Bikram Singh’s statement qua surgical strike on December 23, 2013)

As per the above list,  August 30 -  September 1, 2011 in Sharda Sector, across Neelam River Valley in Kel, January 6, 2013 in Sawan Patra checkpost,  July 27 - July 28, 2013 at Nazapir Sector and August 6, 2013  in Neelam Valley were the surgical strikes allegedly conducted under General VK Singh tenure as COAS. However, the BJP MP has categorically denied these claims.

WATCH: Rahul Gandhi Speaks Of 'UPA-era Surgical Strikes' For First Time, Replies To PM Modi's 'Videogame Strike' Attack

On Saturday, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi addressed a press conference responding to PM Modi's 'videogame Surgical Strike' response and said:

"See, the Army isn't Narendra Modi's personal property. PM thinks the Army, Navy and Air Force are his personal property. These Surgical Strikes haven't been done by the Congress they've been done by the Army of India. And when Narendra Modi says that the Army's Surgical Strikes were video games, he's insulting the Army, not the Congress. And if you want the record, the list is there. So see, this work was done by the Army and it is their job. And we don't politicise the Army. The PM should have respect enough to not disrespect the Army."
