External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday thanked all the political parties for speaking in one voice and praising the security forces for the cross-LoC air strike, and for supporting the government's anti-terror operations.
Sushma Swaraj had called an all-party meeting at Jawaharlal Nehru Bhavan at 5 pm, to brief them about the Indian Air Force strike on Jaish-e-Mohammad training camps in Balakot, Pakistan, 12 days after the outfit orchestrated the February 14 terror attack in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, killing 40 CRPF personnel.
"I am happy that all parties in one voice praised the security forces and supported the government's anti-terror operations," she said.
She also informed the leaders that she spoke to US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo to brief him about the Indian air strikes on JeM terror camps.
She also spoke to her counterparts in China, Singapore, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
In a pre-dawn attack, India struck Jaish-e-Mohammed's(JeM) biggest camp in Pakistan early Tuesday in a major "preemptive" action killing a large number of terrorists and trainers of the Pak-based terror group preparing to carry out suicide attacks in this country, a top official said.
Giving details of the "intelligence-led operation" at a news conference in New Delhi, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said credible intelligence was received that the JeM was planning to carry out other suicide attacks in India after the Pulwama bombing on a CRPF convoy 12 days ago that killed 40 jawans.
