Want pressure on Pakistan be kept up: Brother of slain CRPF jawan

February 26, 2019 13:49

The brother of CRPF jawan Vijay Maurya, who lost his life in the Pulwama terror attack reacts to the air strikes: "We are very happy that this happened, but we want pressure on Pakistan be kept up so that no terror org like JeM dares to attack us again."

India Tuesday carried out pre-dawn air strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan and destroyed terrorist targets. The strike comes amid heightened tension between India and Pakistan following the February 14 suicide attack by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad terror group in Kashmir's Pulwama district that killed 40 CRPF soldiers.

Strikes involving several fighter jets of the IAF successfully destroyed camps belonging to Pakistan-based terror outfits in Balakot in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
