If US can carry out Abbott-like op to kill Osama Bin Laden, so can India: Arun Jaitley

Amid reports of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan along the Line of Control (LOC), Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on February 27 said if the United States can conduct an operation in Abbottabad, so can India.

"I remember when the United States' Navy Seals had conducted an operation in Abbottabad to take away Osama Bin Laden... can't we also do that? This used to be a mere idea, a wish. There was a lot of frustration and dejection, but today even doing that is possible," Jaitley said during a press conference.

Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Dharmendra Pradhan were also present.

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed in a US helicopter raid in Abbottabad on May 2, 2011, ending a long worldwide hunt for the mastermind of the 9/11 attack on the United States.
