 Hello and welcome to another episode of the Daily Roundup here at NewsClick. I am Aditi. Today, we bring to you some of the most important and latest developments in the country. The Ministry of External Affairs has now confirmed that the Indian Air Force carried out airstrikes on terrorist camps across the line of control early Tuesday morning. IAF sources told ANI that at 3.30 am on 26 February, a group of Mirage 2000 Indian fighter jets struck a major terrorist camp across the LOC and completely destroyed it. Thousand KG bombs were dropped on terror camps across the LOC. The targets, reports state, were Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist camps in Balakot, Chakoti and Muzaffarabad. While Balakot is located in Pakistan's Khiber-Pukhtunkhwa province, Chakoti and Muzaffarabad are located in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. JEM is a Pakistani-based terrorist group active in Kashmir. Since its inception in 2000, the terror outfit has carried out several attacks in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the last one being in Pulwama earlier this month, where 44 CRPF men were killed by suicide bomber Adildar. India's Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said in a press briefing at 11.30 am today that the airstrike was non-military, pre-emptive action and said it was absolutely necessary as the government had credible intelligence that JEM was attempting more suicide terror attacks in various parts of the country and that the suicide bombers were being trained for this. Indian Air Force has put on high alert all air defense systems along the LOC to respond to any possible action by Pakistan Air Force, reported ANI. The airstrike has come 12 days after the Pulwama terror attack, which had triggered global outrage and condemnation and had prompted a spike in tensions between the two nuclear armed neighbours, India and Pakistan. Today, the National Investigation Agency or NIA carried out search operations at the residences of several separatists in the Kashmir Valley, including Mirvez Omar Farouk. In relation to a terror funding case, officials said, the NIA officials accompanied by local police and CRPF personnel carried out a search operation nearly at nine places across the valley, which included the houses of Naveem Gilani, son of pro-Pakistan separatist Saeed Alisha Gilani. Besides these, the houses of other separatists like Yassin Malik, Shabir Shah, Ashraf Saharai and Zafar Bhatt were also raided. Three days ago on February 23, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front's Chairman Mohd Yassin Malik was arrested from his residence during a nocturnal raid. The JKLF has condemned these arrests and their spokesperson said that the police have arrested JKLF leaders including Bashir Ahmad Rathair, Fayaz Ahmed, Noor Mohammad Kalwal and Mohammad Yassin Bhatt. The arrests were made just two days before a hearing in the Supreme Court regarding the validity of Article 35A, which provides special rights and privileges to the permanent residents of the state. Under the JNK administration had withdrawn security cover provided to 18 separatists including Malik. Several sources say that both Malik's arrest and today's raids are precautionary measures being taken ahead of the hearing. Today, the title suit hearing in the Ayodhya Babri Merchant land dispute case before the constitution bench of the Supreme Court could not commence in view of the disagreement between the parties over the veracity of translation of the records. The five-judge bench also suggested that the parties explore the option of mediated settlement. However, the Hindu parties represented by senior council CS Vedyanathan and Ranjit Kumar were not open to the idea of mediation. The Muslim groups represented by senior advocate Rajiv Dhawan expressed their willingness to be a part of the mediation if the court directed so. The court will pass orders on next Tuesday, March 4 on whether this issue should be referred to a court-appointed mediator. The Babri Merchant case, popularly known as the Ram Mandir issue, has been a major poll plank for the BJP even since before the 2014 general elections. The government is trying to get the case concluded in favour of the Hindu parties, so it could live up to its promise of constructing the Ram Temple on the disputed site in order to gain electoral gains in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In other news, a burger chain based out of Delhi, Burger Singh, sent out a mass message today offering a discount to mark India's strike along the LOC. Capitalising on the prevalent jingoism, this joint was quick to send this text that read, In light of the surgical strike by the Indian Defence Forces on terrorist camps POK, we offered 20% discount, use code F park again, hashtag sorry not sorry. The text sent by the burger joint quickly drew flag from a number of customers. Many felt that it is not okay for a food joint to fuel public passions and mock a critical and extremely dangerous situation where a potential war could be fought between two nuclear powered nations. This is not the first time that Burger Singh has taken a jaibe at Pakistan, in an attempt to sell nationalism for monetary gain. One of their previous messages read, the only thing lower than Pakistan's GDP is Pakistan's average run rate in the Asia Cup. Let's look at some of the reactions to today's messages on Twitter.
