Politicians firmly show support to IAF after the #airstrike

NP NEWS 24 ONLINE: This is a history in making after the Indian Air Force (IAF) jets crossed the Line of Control (LoC) and destroyed the terror camps in Pakistan in the pre-dawn raid at Balakot. The strike by the Indian forces comes in less than two weeks after the Pulwama terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir by the Pakistan-based terror outfit JeM where 40 CRPF jawans were killed.

Ever since the news in out, the Indian Defense spokesperson zipped with “no information”, on the other hand, many have come forward and congratulated the Indian Air force on their brave move.

Balakot which is quite far out into the LOC is a deep strike and purportedly where Hafeez Saeed gives a lot of his addresses. If IAF penetrated that deep without casualties it's a highly successful mission.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Responding to reports on the IAF air strike across LoC, Fadnavis said “Terrorist camp has been destroyed. PM had said on the first day, free hand has been given to forces. I congratulate PM. What all citizen wanted has been done.”

Wow, if this is true this was not a small strike by any stretch of imagination but will wait for official word, should any be forthcoming. https://t.co/bOFt7SXl43
