Various political parties in Karnataka Tuesday hailed India's preemptive strikes on Jaish-e-Mohammed's terror camps in Pakistan, with Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy offering his "salute" to the Indian Air Force.

In his first public address after the air strikes on terror camps in Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the country is in safe hands and nothing is above the nation.

Hundreds of Fidayeen and their trainers were shifted from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to a five-star, resort style camp in a hilltop forest in Balakot after the Pulwama attack, providing Indian forces with "a sitting duck target" when they carried out an air strike early Tuesday, killing up to 350 terrorists, sources said.

A Pakistani unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was on Tuesday shot down near the International Border in Kutch district of Gujarat, police sources said.

The Supreme Court Tuesday suggested mediation in the Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case, saying it was considering the possibility of "healing relations".

Prime minister Modi is doing exactly the same work that people when they sleep through their tenure and do not implement a single pro-people welfare programmes and spend time making massive speeches while forgetting his constitutional responsibility, and busy filling the coffers of rich friends. Making people forget the real problem and turn them into caste, community and other smaller stuff is the real character of communal politicians. Apart from doing this, Modi is also playing a new role of washing the feet of Pourakarmikas.

India conducted a major preemptive strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammed training camp early Tuesday, killing a "very large number" of terrorists, trainers and senior commanders, Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said.
