Leaders of different political parties in Goa Tuesday praised the Indian Air Force (IAF) for carrying out air strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan.
In a statement issued here, BJP MP Narendra Sawaikar said the strike into PoK shows that India will not tolerate any terror activity in its area.
"Pakistan has been trying to create instability in the country and demoralise the armed forces. With our action today, we have shown that we will not keep quiet," he said.
"Under the leadership of our PM, we had carried out a surgical strike earlier and this is a similar attack. We congratulate the PM and we are with him," Sawaikar added.
Goa Legislative Assembly Speaker Pramod Sawant tweeted, "Actions speak louder than words! Our AirForce has reaffirmed the same with a befitting response in destroying the terror camps in PoK! Jai Hind!"
Assembly Deputy Speaker Michael Lobo also took to Twitter to praise the IAF.
"Salute the #IndianAirForce for the exceptional bravery. Now the world will know not to mess with India. Jai Hind," he tweeted.
