Politicians including Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath and his predecessor Shivraj Singh Chouhan Tuesday hailed the air strike by Indian armed forces on terror launch pads in Pakistan.

India struck Jaish-e-Mohammed's(JeM) biggest camp in Pakistan early Tuesday in a major "preemptive" action killing a large number of terrorists and trainers of the Pak-based terror group preparing to carry out suicide attacks in this country.

"I congratulate the brave soldiers of Indian Air Force for the massive strike on terrorists' camp. My party and I are always with you for every move initiated in the country's interest," Kamal Nath tweeted.

In his tweet, Chouhan, said, "The drive to eliminate terrorism has begun. Anybody with ill intention against India will meet the same fate as the Jaish terrorists".
