Indian Air Force Surgical Strike: Twitter shows you how's the josh!
On February 14, 2019, a suicide bomb attack killed 40 CRPF jawans in Pulwama. Twelve days since that pathetic act of cowardice, India strikes back.
And Twitter is all josh-ed up!
Here's how the people of Twitterdom are reacting to India's second surgical strike:
One of the first ones to applaud the Indian government's brave move was Akshay Kumar. and we wouldn't expect anything less from the man, either.
Proud of our #IndianAirForce fighters for destroying terror camps. अंदर घुस के मारो ! Quiet no more! #IndiaStrikesBack
— Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar) February 26, 2019
Sanjay Dutt soon followed.
Salute to the #IndianAirForce for their indomitable spirit in keeping our country safe! Let us all pray for their safety. Jai Hind ????????
— Sanjay Dutt (@duttsanjay) February 26, 2019
Writter Chetan Bhagat also heaped words of praise for the Indian Air Force.
Great job by the IAF. And great choice of words by govt "non-military preemptive action against terrorists (and not against Pak)". Makes it difficult for Pak to escalate. Josh and Hosh both on display. Very well done. #IndianAirForce #IndiaStrikesBack

While we may continue debating whether India should or should not play Pakistan at the World Cup, cricketer Ajinkya Rahane clearly was not one to hold his emotions back.
Bravo to the #IndianAirForce! They have sent a much needed message against terror. We are proud of you. Jai Hind! ????????

Indian badminton star, Srikanth Kidambi, speaks on behalf of all Indians: Every Indian is proud of you!

And Telegu cinema actor Junior NTR feels this was indeed a fitting reply to the Pulwama terror attacks.
Our country gives a fitting reply. #IndiaStrikesBack . Salute to the Indian Air Force #JaiHind
— Jr NTR (@tarak9999) February 26, 2019
And then, why should politicians be far behind?
Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister of Rajasthan, salutes the bravery of the Indian Air Force pilots.

Captain Amarinder Singh lends his full support for the action.
Great job by the #IndianAirForce. The #IAFStrikes have sent the much needed signal to Pakistan and the terrorists it’s harbouring - don’t think you can get away with acts like the #PulwamaAttack. Bravo to the #IAF men and my full support for the action.

And so did Odisha Chief Minister, Naveen Patnaik.
Salute the #IndianAirForce for pre-dawn air strikes on terror camps in defence of our Nation. #JaiHind

And finally, Subramanian Swamy said it. And we couldn't have said it better!
We are bombing our own territory temporarily called PoK. So no international law broken but it is in self defence

So, the next someone asks you, 'How's the Josh?' — just point them towards Twitter!
