test | 2 years ago | Reply We love our armed forces a lot and will continue to do so. But one thing if that would have landed in india by whatever means purposefully or unpurposefully. I would have been more than happy and even more the joy would have not been described in words. I hope it will happen if not today but some day it must. I am waiting for that moment when it will strike india. And love a lot of love for our armed forces that they deserve it. Thank you for keeping our country safe.
