They say they want India to bleed with a 1000 cuts. We say that each time you attack us, be certain we will get back at you, harder and stronger. Salute the brave pilots of the @IAF_MCC that carried out the strikes. #JaiHind

Yeh Modi ka Hindustan hai, ghar me ghusega bhi aur maarega bhi, (This is Modi's India. It will enter the house and strike them too.) Air Force carried out aerial strike early morning today at terror camps across the LoC and Completely destroyed it. Ek Ek katra khoon ka hisab hoga. Yeh toh ek shuruat hai.
