I did not admit it was a lie, I said at worst what occurred that night was what has normally occurred over the course of the past several decades, incursions by both sides.
Neither side typically advertised or acknowledged these attacks publicly, until the bhensa called Modi and his ranting and raving BJP came into power. Now, there are two possibilities here:
1. The attacks never occurred and were concocted by Modi and the BJP to save face
2. The attacks were nothing out of the ordinary, both India & Pakistan have conducted several of these 'surgical strikes' in the past, and the official line, by BOTH countries, has been to remain silent about it. In this particular case, India decided to exaggerate the whole incident so the BJP could make it look like it was doing something new and break with precedent to publicize the incident. Pakistan continued with precedent on these particular attacks, because they were nothing out of the normal and had to issue formal denials only because the Indian side put on a Bollywood tamasha about something routine.
