Two years ago on February 26, the Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted an airstrike in Balakot, Pakistan in response to the death of over 40 CRPF personnel.
Indian Air Force’s (IAF) mission to bomb a terrorist hideout in Balakot, Pakistan, was codenamed ‘Operation Bandar’.
On February 14, 2019, a suicide terror attack was conducted by Pakistan-based terror organization Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). This incident was condemned by the whole world including Pakistan Prime Minister.
Defense minister Rajnath Singh and Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday saluted the Indian Air Force (IAF) as the nation observed two years of the IAF’s air-strike.
Union Minister Amit Shah tweeted in Hindi, “Today in 2019 @IAF_MCC In response to the Pulwama terror attack, the New India had re-clarified its policy against terrorism.
I remember the brave martyrs of Pulwama and salute the valor of the Air Force. @narendramodi Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, the safety of our nation and soldiers is paramount”
2019 में आज ही के दिन @IAF_MCC ने पुलवामा आतंकी हमले का जवाब देकर नए भारत की आतंकवाद के विरुद्ध अपनी नीति को पुनः स्पष्ट किया था।
मैं पुलवामा के वीर शहीदों का स्मरण व वायु सेना की वीरता को सलाम करता हूँ।@narendramodi जी के नेतृत्व में देश व हमारे जवानों की सुरक्षा सर्वोपरि है।
