Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday postponed his indefinite hunger strike for full statehood of Delhi, scheduled from March 1 in "view of the prevailing Indo-Pak situation".
His remarks came after the IAF Jets struck Jaish-e-Mohammed's(JeM) biggest camp in Pakistan on early Tuesday in a major "preemptive" action killing a large number of terrorists and trainers of the Pak-based terror group preparing to carry out suicide attacks in this country.
"In view of prevailing Indo Pak situation, I am postponing my upwas for full statehood of Delhi. We all stand as one nation today," he posted on Twitter.
