Sanjay Raut: Revenge not over till JeM chief Masood is "struck down"
Sanjay Raut

Senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday congratulated the Indian Air Force for strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan but said the revenge for the Pulwama attack will not be complete till Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar is "struck down". India struck Jaish-e Mohammed's (JeM) biggest camp in Pakistan early on 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.  In a tweet, Raut lauded the "bravery of Indian Air Force pilots who have made us proud by striking terror targets in Pakistan."

I salute the bravery of Indian Air Force pilots who have made us proud by striking terror targets in Pakistan.
जय हिंद!
वंदे मातरम

हिंदुस्तानच्या फायटर विमानांनी पाकव्याप्त काशमीर वर हल्ला केला. वायू सेनेचे अभिनंदन. जैश ए मोहम्मद चा सैतान अजहर मसुद ला मारल्या शिवाय बदला पुर्ण होणार नाही.

"However, until the satan JeM chief Masood Azhar is struck down, our revenge won't be complete," said the Rajya Sabha member, whose party is an ally of the BJP at the Centre and in Maharashtra.

If this is Balakote in KPK it’s a major incursion & a significant strike by IAF planes. However if it’s Balakote in Poonch sector, along the LoC it’s a largely symbolic strike because at this time of the year forward launch pads & militant camps are empty & non-functional.

Raut also re-tweeted a statement of National Conference leader Omar Abdullah in which the latter said, "If this is Balakote in KPK its a major incursion & a significant strike by IAF planes. However if its Balakote in Poonch sector, along with the LoC its a largely symbolic strike because at this time of the year forward launch pads & militant camps are empty & non-functional."
