New Delhi: Criticising the government over the repeated ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the Line of Control, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday asked if India's missiles are just for "exhibiting and gathering applaud at the Rajpath".

Highlighting that Pakistan has used missiles to attack Indian soldiers, he said, "Pakistan has used missiles in attacking our jawans yesterday. Are our missiles just for exhibiting and gathering applaud at the Rajpath? Are they just for showing to the Foreign Heads on 26 January?"

Taking it a bit further, Raut said that this is a direct war and if India doesn't do anything about it then they will not be considered "man enough" by the world.
