The Indian Air Force chief Arup Raha on Saturday declined to make any comment on the controversy over the surgical strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan.
He said the armed forces would not talk, but deliver the results the nation wanted.
"There has been so much discussion on this issue in the country. The armed forces are supposed to deliver the result that the nation expects. We are not going to talk about it, we will just deliver," said Air Chief Marshal Raha Raha, who is also the chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee, was speaking at an event commemorating the IAF's 84th foundation day at Air Force Station Hindon in Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh.
He was asked to comment on the accusation by some of the opposition parties that the government was trying to gain political mileage out of the surgical strikes. Raha referred to the terror attacks at Pathankot and Uri and said that such incidents were signs of "troubled times".
He, however, also said that the armed forces were learning new lessons from each incident and getting smarter.
He said that the military was ready to give a befitting reply to any challenge posed to India and were well prepared to take on any sub-conventional threats.
India's indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Tejas performed stunts for the first time at the air show held on the occasion, evoking applause from the viewers.
"Operating some of the most modern weapon platforms and equipment, our air warriors exercise ceaseless vigil of the skies," Raha wrote in a post on the IAF's new official page on Facebook.
"We continue to train to take up any threat and are fully prepared to undertake any challenge in most befitting manner," added the IAF chief.
IAF probe into drug case
The Indian Air Force launched an internal investigation after the Narcotics Control Bureau arrested its Wing Commander Rajasekhar Reddy for his links with a drug racket, DHNS reports from New Delhi.
"We should have detected ourselves, much before it came to this shape. So, we are investigating deep into the entire matter and we are taking a lot of steps to prevent such things," said IAF chief Arup Raha.
Reddy was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in Delhi a few days back. He is suspected to be a key player in a racket involved in supply of drugs. The racket was busted by the NCB in Hyderabad and Bengaluru recently.
"A commissioned officer was involved in drug trafficking and these incidents affect the morale of the armed forces," said Raha.
