Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday sparked a row when he sarcastically referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "magician of Balakot, demonetisation and Operation Sindoor", sparking an outcry from the BJP members. Rahul Gandhi's attacks were aimed at targeting the government over the 2019 Balakot airstrikes on Jaish-e-Mohammed camps, 2016 demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes and last year's India's strikes on terror camps in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor.
