Too many mosquitoes: VK Singh on casualties in IAF strike

Amid the rising debate between government and the opposition over the number of terrorists killed in the Airstrikes conducted by the Indian Air Force (IAF) in Pakistan, Union Minister VK Singh on Wednesday took a dig at the opposition leaders with a humorous tweet about "too many mosquitoes".

Taking to the micro-blogging site, Singh wrote, "Last night at 3.30 AM there were too many mosquitoes, so I used HIT (mosquito repellent). Now should I start counting how many mosquitoes I killed or should I go back to sleep?"

रात ३.३० बजे मच्छर बहुत थे,

तो मैंने HIT मारा।

अब मच्छर कितने मारे, ये गिनने बैठूँ,

या आराम से सो जाऊँ? #GenerallySaying
