Former Indian Air Force (IAF) chief and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria (Retd.) lauded the BJP government’s stance against terrorism. Talking to ANI, RKS Bhadauria said that the Balakot airstrike was done by breaking through Pakistan’s Air Force and Army protection and we suffered no losses. He also said that we won’t tolerate terrorism.
“When BJP came to power, PM Modi made a clear policy of zero tolerance against terrorism. When a terror incident occurred and perpetrators hid across the border, a surgical strike was done across the LoC. When the Pulwama terror attack occurred, the launchpads across the border went underground. They were searched for and found. Balakot strike was done at that time. It was an important step and a strong message…No such (terror) incident happened after that…This (airstrike) was done by breaking through Pakistan’s Air Force and Army protection and we suffered no losses. It was a successful operation…We were prepared for every situation…If someone spreads terror in our country, they will be targetted wherever they hide…The meaning is clear – zero tolerance, we won’t tolerate terrorism,” said RKS Bhadauria.
