MUMBAI: Noted special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam today said that any demand for proof of army's surgical strikes across the LoC is "illegal and unjustified". "Such a demand for disclosure of evidence on surgical strikes is not only illegal but also not justified, because if the evidence is disclosed by way of video footage or photographs it would endanger the Indian Army and the security of India. "To ask for the proof of surgical strikes is not only ridiculous but this would help the enemy country as they would benefit by knowing our warfare tactics and might employ counter strategy to defeat India, Nikam said. "Few persons who have raised a hue and cry by asking for proof of surgical strikes by India are grabbing headlines in Pakistani media. ", he said.Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had on Monday released a video clip in which he "saluted" PM Narendra Modi for the surgical strikes by Indian Army but also urged the prime minister to clear the air around "Pakistan's false propaganda".He was later criticised by Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad .
