Kathua: While speaking to the media on aerial strikes conducted by the Indian Air Force (IAF) at Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror camps in Balakot on early morning of Tuesday, Minister of State (MoS) for Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Dr Jitendra Singh said, "It is satisfactory that several countries across the world are now supporting India in taking harsh actions against the terrorists and terrorist organisations. It is a big achievement for Prime Minister Narendra Modi."
Earlier, briefing the media, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale confirmed the strike and remarked that the received intelligence had indicated that the JeM had planned a series of suicide attacks in various parts of the country and 'Fidayeen Jihadis' were being trained for the purpose.
Following the IAF attack on the terror camps in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a meeting of Cabinet Committee on Security to take stock of the situation.
The JeM control room was completely destroyed in the air strike, sources said.
The JeM carried out a ghastly terror attack on CRPF convoy in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir on February 14 in which 40 security personnel were killed and five injured.
