BJP President Amit Shah, speaking at the Lakshya JITO program at GMDC hall in Ahmedabad, claimed that 250 terrorists were killed in the recent Air Force (IAF) strike on Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror training camp in Balakot, Pakistan and credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's will power for the early return of IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.

International pressure continues to mount against Pakistan for letting terrorist organisations operate on its soil. The United Kingdom has become the latest country to call on Islamabad to act against them. UK’s Prime Minister Theresa May in a call to her Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan has called for his government to act against the terror groups operating from Pakistan.

Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who is undergoing medical treatment as part of a 'cooling down' process after his release from Pakistan's captivity, conveyed to the IAF brass that he wants to start flying as soon as possible. Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman told senior IAF commanders and doctors treating him that he wants to return to the cockpit at the earliest, officials told news agency PTI on Sunday.
