Two issues where her comments twisted facts and sought to project the wrong picture need clarification. The first is her comments on the opening of cantonment roads.

In her statement, Nirmala Sitharaman read out multiple dates of meetings held between the MoD and Army officials, apart from those held between political representatives and vice presidents of cantonment boards, seeking to arrive at a consensus before the final orders were given. Therefore, she sought to project that the final decision arrived at was a collective one, not a unilateral one, as the media is projecting.
