Mulayam supports surgical strikes across LoC

Samajwadi Party (SP) chief and former Defence Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav on Thursday said his party was in support of the surgical strikes by the Indian Army across the Line of Control (LoC).

He also said that he has spoken to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh after the strikes and extended his support on proactive action against the terrorist activities emanating from the Pakistani soil.

"We are with the government on this matter and endorse every decision taken by it," he said.

Yadav went a step ahead and said that time had come for India to take back PoK (Pakistan occupied Kashmir).
