The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) today praised the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Army for conducting surgical strikes on terror launch pads based out of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The party, in a statement, said that the surgical strikes proved India’s ability to conduct such targeted strikes when required.
The statement further added that the Army’s action showed that India’s patience had its limits.
“On behalf of DMK, I congratulate the Indian Army for proving its capability to conduct such strikes and Prime Minister Modi for being instrumental for this,” DMK chief M Karunanidhi said.
India had carried out surgical strikes on seven terror launch pads across LoC on the intervening night of September 28 and 29, seen as a reprisal for the Uri attack which left 19 Indian soldiers martyred.
On the Cauvery issue, Karunanidhi welcomed the Supreme Court directive to the Centre on constituting the Cauvery Management Board. He said the river water should be shared among stakeholder states — Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Puducherry as per the final award of the Cauvery disputes tribunal.
He expressed a desire that the problem should be settled amicably.
