Celebrities, well-known and lesser-known singers, have lauded the valor of IAF pilots for carrying out pre-dawn air strikes on Pakistan's terror launchpads, 12 days after the Pulwama Terror Attack. While the details of Surgical Strike 2.0 are still emerging from several sources, social media platforms are brimming with congratulatory wishes from celebrities across the board. 

IAF sources said a dozen Mirage 2000 fighter jets struck a major terrorist camp across the LoC and completely destroyed it. The strike was carried out at 3:30 am on Tuesday, sources said, adding that about 200-300 terrorista are supposed to have been killed in the strikes.

A number of singers, from Lata Mangeshkar to Shaan, took to social media to laud IAF's air strikes across Pakistan terror camps. Kailash Kher has also joined the bandwagon of singers to appreciate the valiant efforts of the IAF. Check out some of the reactions here:

Lata Mangeshkar told a news channel, "India exists because of our soldiers. I would like to congratulate and thank them for their brave act. They have a ready-to-risk spirit. I would also like to congratulate PM Narendra Modi for his fabulous work. Today is also Savarkarji’s death anniversary. He always opposed Pakistan, and such a deed happened on his birthday. I would take the opportunity to praise our soldiers. I am deeply saddened for the families of our 49 martyrs (post Pulwama attack). I would also like to show gratitude to them for taking care of India."

He also posted a video with the caption, "मेरा देश मेरी जान है, मेरा गर्व है अभिमान है। जल हो ज़मीन या आसमान, कभी झुके नहीं भारत की शान। #ParakramGeet #Surgicalstrike2 #EkBharatShreshthBharat" (translated: my country is my life and my pride. Be it water, land or sky, never has India's pride taken a bow)
