Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Thursday praised the Indian Army for executing "perfect" surgical strikes across the Line of Control in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Addressing a public event here, Parrikar lauded the armed forces and said: "I am proud of our soldiers. When asked to conduct a surgical strikes not only they conducted a strike but achieved hundred per cent strike without any casualty."
"The world would not have seen such a perfect surgical strike ever," he said, adding, "Our soldiers are capable of performing a perfect strike which is not heard about even from forces of the leading nation."
India conducted the surgical strikes on terrorist launch pads across the LoC on the intervening night of September 28 and 29.
