KUDOS TO INDIAN AIR FORCE

-

Surprising the Pakistani regime, India has given a befitting reply by pounding the terror camps in POK and our air force deserves kudos for this successful mission. The anti-terror operations in the Valley and this cross-border air strike will make the neighbouri­ng country think umpteenth time before giving refuge to terrorists.

The first priority of the COA and the government should be to draw a consensus among the participat­ing nations to not play Pakistan in the tournament. If at all, that doesn’t happen, then Indian team should forfeit its match against Pakistan even if it loses two points or for that matter, eventually the World Cup title.
