Indian Air Force (IAF) jets carried out a strike across the Line of Control and destroyed major terrorist camps in Balakot sector early on Tuesday morning.

Few hours after India attacked Pakistan, the Indian Army tweeted a Hindi poem which says that "if you are docile and polite before the enemy, he may consider you as a coward, the way Kauravas treated Pandavas".

'क्षमाशील हो रिपु-समक्ष
तुम हुए विनीत जितना ही,
दुष्ट कौरवों ने तुमको
कायर समझा उतना ही।

सच पूछो, तो शर में ही
बसती है दीप्ति विनय की,
सन्धि-वचन संपूज्य उसी का जिसमें शक्ति विजय की।'#IndianArmy #AlwaysReady pic.twitter.com/bUV1DmeNkL

Peace overtures, the poem says, is possible only when you are in a powerful position and capable to win.

IAF bombed terror camps at multiple locations across the Line of Control on the Pakistani side, 12 days after the Jaish-e-Mohammed terror group carried out the Pulwama attack in Kashmir, which left 40 CRPF jawans dead, sparking outrage in the country.
