Indian army ready for counter-attack, says defence minister

Bengaluru: The Indian armed forces are ready for counter-attack as their morale is high despite the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on February 14, said Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday. “The response of all Indians to the terror attack in Pulwama has made our armed forces assert they are ready to retaliate against the enemy squarely,” Sitharaman told reporters that Jawans were ready to do their job. The terror attack has not affected their morale at all. It is our duty to keep their morale,” she said. (ians)
