Congress Vice President
Rahul Gandhi on Friday praised
Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the
surgical strikes by the
Indian Army on terrorist launch pads across
Line of Control (LoC), saying it is first time in two-and-a-half years that he took action befitting the stature of a Prime Minister.
Addressing a gathering here as part of his
Kisan Yatra in Uttar Pradesh, Gandhi said the whole country and Congress was with the government.
"I want to thank him that for the first time in two-and-a-half years, he has taken action which befits the stature of PM. He has my full support. The entire country and the Congress is with the Prime Minister," Gandhi said.
The army carried out the
surgical strikes on late Wednesday night on seven terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control in Jammu and
Kashmir inflicting "significant casualties".
