JAMMU/NEW DELHI, India - Indians took to the streets in celebration across the country on Tuesday after the government said it carried out air strikes inside Pakistan killing hundreds of militants in a training camp.
“A very large number of Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists” were killed, Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said.While the results of the strikes in the early hours of Tuesday were disputed, that didn’t stop many in India from believing their government’s version of events. In a village 100 metres from the Line of Control that acts as the de facto border with Pakistan, men gathered around a bunker for security forces that is under construction and shouted slogans hailing India.Shelling across the LoC has occurred frequently over the past few years but incursions into the other country’s air space are rare - let alone an attack well into Pakistan.
The BJP lost a string of state elections late last year, after which opposition parties have attempted to form a coalition to take on Modi. “... They will work hard to ensure the victory of Narendra Modi,” Jha said. “Since this is happening so close to the election, Pulwama will be the biggest issue.”
