BJP, Cong hail IAF air strike on terror camp in Pakistan

The BJP and the Congress in Telangana Tuesday hailed the Indian Air Force air strike on a terror camp in Pakistan while activists of the saffron party, students and others took out rallies at different places in the state lauding the defence personnel.

State BJP president K Laxman and his Congress counterpart N Uttam Kumar Reddy welcomed the air strikes.

"The way Osama Bin Laden was killed by the US army in Pakistan, we feel that it is appropriate that the Indian Army should also carry out such (surgical) operations against Pakistan aided terror outfits," Telangana Pradesh Congress president Uttam Kumar Reddy, a former IAF fighter pilot, said.

"As a former @IAF_MCC fighter pilot, my heart swells with pride at the skill & valour of the Mirage 2000 pilots who destroyed Pakistani terror camps across the LOC. Congratulations to the Air Warriors!#IndianAirForce," he tweeted.

Laxman said the air strikes were a matter of pride for the entire country
