Venkaiah Naidu, Union Minister on surgical strikes by Indian Army on Pak territory:


"India has been repeatedly urging Pakistan that its territory should not be allowed for terror activities. These ops are a part of the mandate of the Indian Army to foil any attempts of infiltration into our soil. 


"At least now Pakistan will stop terrorism against India. The country is safe in hands of PM Modi and the Army, thats why people in different parts of world are appreciating steps taken to counter terror.


"The Army operation was a part of their responsibility in defending unity, safety and security of the country. PM Modi said that befitting measures will be taken to ensure the safety and security of the country.


"After the Uri terror attack, people of India were outraged. PM has reassured nation that such acts will not be tolerated. Our positive gestures were only reciprocated with further encouragement to terrorists (by Pakistan). "
