Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki today hailed the surgical strikes by the Indian Army on the terrorist launch pads in PoK, saying such a display of might was the need of the hour.
He said while the Indian philosophy is to live and let live in peace, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a message to Pakistan and the rest of the world through the strikes.
He said this while visiting the Mata Mansa Devi Shrine here to offer prayers on the the first day of 'Navratri' festival.
The Governor inaugurated a free medical camp and inspected an exhibition organised by the AYUSH Department.
He also said that the ambitious 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' programme was yielding very encouraging results.
A large number of devotees have been thronging the shrine complex since morning to pay obeisance and make offerings on the first day of the nine-day long festival.
