Kolkata, May 7 (PTI) In less than 10 hours after India struck on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday, in a social media post, stated 'Jai Hind! Jai India!'

The post, which was widely interpreted as support for the nation's armed forces in carrying out the early Wednesday strike on terror bases on the other side of the LOC, was consistent with Banerjee's earlier statement that the Trinamool Congress would support the Centre in actions against terror attacks on Indian soil.
