Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that the party applauds the brave Army men and the entire armed forces who, despite the coronavirus pandemic, are taking on terrorists being pushed into India by the ISI and the Pakistani government.
He said that the manner in which the terrorists are pushed into India by Pakistan and the ISI is known to everybody.
"But, the way this architecture of terror is being demolished by our armed forces makes every Indian proud of them," he said.
"We salute their valour and bravery in demolishing this terror network on a daily basis which is now proven from the killing of the terror Commander in Jammu and Kashmir when he attacked our armed forces. Our armed forces ensured that the terror network was demolished, so we applaud them and we salute their valour," Surjewala said.
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tweeted, "I salute Indian Army soldiers and their valour."

Hizbul Mujahideen's de facto chief and one of Kashmir's most wanted terrorists Riyaz Naikoo was on Wednesday killed by security forces in his village in Pulwama district, prompting authorities to suspend mobile phones and mobile internet across the Valley.
The 35-year-old maths teacher-turned-terrorist, with a Rs 12 lakh bounty on his head, had successfully escaped the dragnet for eight years. But his luck finally ran out when he was shot dead after a five-hour gunbattle in restive Pulwama's Beighbpora village, about 40 km from Srinagar, police said.
