A Fitting Reply: Politicos Hail Surgical Strikes Across LoC
Thursday morning, Lt Gen Ranbir Singh, the Director General of Military Operations made an announcement that has shocked the country, and sent newsrooms into a tizzy.
In the wake of the Uri attack, the DGMO confirmed that on Wednesday night, the Indian Army had conducted surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu & Kashmir.
Indian politicians reacted immediately. Some took to Twitter to express themselves. The overwhelming reaction in response to the strike has been of approval and support to the armed forces.
