The IAF air strike on a terror camp in Balakot in Pakistan needs to be celebrated as it showed the valour of the armed forces as well as the resolve of the country's political leadership, Vishwa Hindu Parishad working president Alok Kumar said. 

Speaking at a function to launch a national foundation in the memory of late VHP chief Ashok Singhal on Saturday, Kumar questioned those who have claimed that the armed forces and their operations should not be politicised or used to seek votes.
