No casualties in airstrike in Pak, hints S S Ahluwalia
New Delhi, Mar 02: A video footage doing the rounds in social media has shown Union Minister S S Ahluwalia indicating that no casualties took place in the air strike by the Indian Air Force (IAF) on terror camps in Pakistan. Ahluwalia also said that the Centre did not want any casualties in the airstrike.
“The reason why no damage was done is because the intention behind it (the airstrike) is to prove that we can destroy their (terrorists’) house by dropping bombs beside it. This was a necessary step,” said Ahluwalia in Bengali. He was speaking to journalists.
He also said that “this was a necessary step to prove that despite all your (Pakistan’s) surveillance we can pinpoint that area and can destroy it. We didn’t want any human casualties.”
As for the difference regarding the number of casualties in reports by the Indian and international media he said that he has gone through them. “I have seen the reports by both Indian and International media. I have also heard Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech. After the incident(airstrike) he gave a speech in Churu (in Rajasthan). Did he say that 300 people died? Has any spokesperson said it? Has Amit Shah said it?” said Ahluwalia.
When contacted, Ahluwalia told DH said, "please try to see the full video and only come to me."

Kantara mimicking case: HC extends interim relief given to actor Ranveer Singh till March 9
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka High Court on Monday extended the interim relief given to Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh till March 9, in a case related to mimicking a character from the movie, 'Kantara Chapter-1', and allegedly mocking a deity.
The actor had approached the High Court seeking the quashing of the FIR against him for mimicking Rishab Shetty's role as 'Chavunda' deity in the movie.
While mimicking, Singh had called the deity a "ghost". The actor was asked to appear before the court in person on Monday.
Appearing on behalf of the actor, his counsel Sajjan Poovayya said Singh was stuck in London and was unable to reach Bengaluru due to the conflict in West Asia.
The complainant, who is a lawyer, alleged that his religious sentiments were hurt by calling the deity a ghost. On the directions of a local Court, the police registered a case against the actor.
The High Court on February 24 granted interim relief to the actor with directions to the police not to take any coercive steps against him.
