New Delhi: Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday called the ban on Chinese apps a digital strike and said that India wants peace but if someone casts an evil eye, the country is capable of giving a befitting reply.

He said that if our country has lost 20 soldiers, the toll is double on the Chinese side.

"Now you can hear about only two 'Cs' - Coronaviris and China. We believe in peace and solve problems through discussion, but if somebody casts an evil eye on India, we will give a befitting reply...if our 20 jawans have sacrificed their lives, then the toll is double on the Chinese side.

Recalling how India had responded after terror attacks in the recent past, Prasad, said, “You all must remember how we had retaliated after Uri and Pulwama (terror strikes). When our PM is saying that the sacrifice of our jawans won't go in vain, it has a meaning. Our government has the will to deliver."
