Remembering the events that led to the Balakot airstrikes
The 2019 Balakot airstrike, conducted by the Indian Air Force (IAF) on February 26, targeted an alleged terrorist training camp in Balakot, Pakistan. This retaliatory action followed the heinous Pulwama terror attack on February 14, 2019, in which a suicide bomber affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed attacked an Indian paramilitary convoy, claiming over 40 lives. The airstrike was aimed at dismantling terrorist infrastructure in response to the Pulwama tragedy.
Sheirgill, Dutta shared their sentiments on the historic defense operation
On the anniversary of the Pulwama attack, Sheirgill shared his thoughts, stating, "While we will never forget the sacrifice of our martyrs, we couldn't stop beaming with pride when for the first time we watched our country fight back!" Meanwhile, Dutta, who comes from an armed forces family, added: "Coming from an armed forces background, I understand the bravery, sacrifice, and love for country firsthand."
