Two weeks after the deadly terrorist attack in Pulwama in Kashmir, Indian Air Force’s fighter jets crossed the Line of Control to destroy major terrorist camps near Balakot with bombs on February 26.
The airstrikes were in retaliation to the dastardly attack by a JeM suicide bomber on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir earlier this month, which claimed the lives of at least 40 soldiers.

Zafar applauded Pakistan PM Imran Khan with a ‘What a speech!’ for stating that the nation would retaliate if India attacked it, actor and MP Paresh Rawal took a jab at the actor.
Now, as India took revenge on February 26, Paresh Rawal took a jibe at the actor and wrote, “Now speechless!!!”
