'Another strike on Pakistan': Amit Shah congratulates team India on big win

Home Minister Amit Shah Monday congratulated Indian cricket team for its victory over Pakistan in a World Cup match saying it was "another strike" on the neighbouring country and the "result is same". Shah's comments came after India inflicted a humiliating 89-run defeat on their arch-rivals in the much-hyped World Cup match held in Manchester on Sunday.

"Another strike on Pakistan by #TeamIndia and the result is the same. Congratulations to the entire team for this superb performance. Every Indian is feeling proud and celebrating this impressive win. #INDvPAK (sic)," he tweeted. By mentioning "another strike", the home minister referred to the surgical strike carried by the Indian Air Force on a terror camp at Balakot in Pakistan on February 26 after terrorists exploded a CRPF bus at Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir killing 40 personnel.

The Indian Army had carried out a surgical strike across the Line of Control in Pakistani occupied Kashmir on September 29, 2016, as well after a terrorist attacked an army camp in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir on September 18, 2016, killing 18 jawans.
