Hailing the surgical strikes by India on terror launch pads across the LoC, the wife of martyred soldier Hemraj, said the action was a "befitting reply" to Pakistan.
"The strikes by India have instilled confidence among soldiers and the common man. But if such a step was taken earlier, we would not have lost lives of soldiers in Uri," Dharmvati said here yesterday.
She said the government should not show any leniency towards Pakistan-sponsored terrorists.
Lance Naik Hemraj was killed and beheaded by Pakistani soldiers on January 8, 2013 in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
India had carried out the surgical strikes across LoC on Wednesday night, inflicting "significant casualties" on terrorists and those who were trying to support them.

Chaudhary said she would have been more happy if such a strike was carried out earlier.
Her husband had died in Jammu in October last year.
Kamlesh Devi, wife martyred soldier Soran Singh, who died in the Kargil War, demanded more stern action against the terrorists.
"If such an action had been taken earlier, it would have boosted the moral of the army and the citizens of the country as well," said Ravita, whose husband Babloo Kumar martyred in July.
