The Indian Army has given multiple videos and graphic evidence of its surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) last week, asking it to take a final call on whether they should be made public.
The video evidence of the Army operation was announced just as Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a Cabinet Committee on Security meeting in New Delhi to discuss whether the details of the strikes should be revealed amid intense politics over the issue.

The meeting was briefed about the situation on the LoC and the International Border as well as the hinterland, sources said.
REPORT CONFIRMS ARMY OPERATION
As a number of opposition parties including the Congress and the AAP demanded that the proof of the strikes must be made public, a newspaper report published today confirmed that the Army operation indeed took place by citing eyewitness across from across the LoC.

In the night of September 28-29, Indian Army commandos had crossed over to the PoK and killed nearly 50 terrorists and destroyed at least launch pads. The strikes happened 10 days after Pakistan-based terrorists stormed an Army camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri sector and killed 19 Indian soldiers.
NO SURGICAL STRIKE: PAK
Pakistan has repeatedly denied that the Indian Army crossed over to the territory controlled by it and even took a team of international journalists in a failed attempt to show the proof of its denial.
Islamabad has also denied that groups operating on its soil had conducted the Uri attack.
