On September 18, a terror attack on an army camp in Uri resulted in the martyrdom of 18 Indian soldiers. With numerous ceasefire violations in the past few days, everyone was as agitated as Gautam Gambhir was. The left-handed batsmen took to social media to express his anguish.

My worry is dat our leaders can neither control d mosquitoes which r within d nation nor which cme frm acros d border. Pathetic. #UriAttacks

Last night India carried out a surgical strike along the Line of Control, targeting the terror launch pads. Indian Army’s move was lauded by several sportsmen. Former cricketer Virender Sehwag, a Twitter specialist, went on to say, “The boys have played really well.”

Salute to Indian Army.
The boys have played really well.
Jai Hind.#SurgicalStrike

Cricketers Mohammad Kaif and Harbhajan Singh, too, joined the action and went on to praise Indian army’s move to counter terrorism.

All hail Indian Army.
They are truly the best.
Jai Hind.
