Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday faced incessant trolling for inventing an extraordinary cloud science and how he used that theory to order the air strikes in Balakot in February this year.
Speaking to a TV channel, Modi said that experts were in two minds on whether Indian should go ahead with its plans to carry out air strikes in Pakistan’s Balakot to avenge the Pulwama terror attack. He said, “You may remember that the weather was not good that day. It was raining heavily. Some experts said that we should change the date of our air strikes. I’m not an expert or scientist. In my raw vision I felt if the clouds could help hide the jets from radar. So the jets left in that weather.”

Modi’s comments advocating revolutionary scientific theory were prominently tweeted from both official Twitter handles of the BJP and BJP Gujarat. However, the party deleted both the tweets in the face of widespread public ridicule.
Former Indian Air Force officer Khalid Ehsan said that cloudy weather had no relevance to modern Radar Detection ability. He told Janta Ka Reporter, “Cloudy condition could actually be detrimental to our ability to hit the target. “If the attack was to be Beyond Visual Range weapons like GPS guided weapons then the attack in cloudy weather or clear skies have no meaning,” he added.
Modi has been using the Balakot air strikes during most of his TV interviews and election speeches. However, the Indian Air Force has failed to produce a conclusive evidence to support the Indian government’s claims that it killed hundreds of terrorists at the Jaish camp in Balakot.
