Virender Sehwag puts out Tweet to salute security forces for their 'Unbeaten Double Century'

Indian skipper Virat Kohli, on yesterday, registered his 6^th double ton and in the process became the fastest Indian to do so. While Kohli registered his double century, the Indian security forces achieved a similar feat after official figures revealed, 200 terrorists have been killed by them during counter-insurgency operations from 1 January till date this year, which is the highest since 2010.

Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag who is popular across social media for being vocal on current affairs, took to Twitter to congratulate the Additional Directorate General of Information – Indian Army, and Jammu and Kashmir Police for eliminating 200 terrorists this year. For the first time in seven years, the number of terrorists killed in counter-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir has crossed 200, the state police said. The 39-year-old hailed the achievement with a subtle cricket analogy. He wrote, “Congratulations to @adgpi and J&K Police for the unbeaten double century this year, eliminating 200 terrorists in 2017 alone. Jai Hind! May there be peace.”

Appreciating the effort of the security forces, Director General of Police (DGP) SP Vaid also tweeted, “Today by the collective effort of @JmuKmrPolice, Indian Army, @crpfindia, CAPF and people of Kashmir have led to neutralization of more than 200 terrorists in the year of 2017 alone.”.

Earlier in February, the Indian cricketer had tweeted his support for the Indian army, and particularly for the gravely injured Major Amardeep Singh. Responding to a tweet posted by retired army veteran Major Gaurav Arya, Sehwag posted that he was praying for a quick recovery for Major Amardeep, who was injured alongside Lieutenant Colonel Mukesh Jha on February 23.

Sehwag, in May, had commended the Indian Army for their work in Tral that saw Sabzar Ahmad Bhat, a top Hizbul Mujahideen commander, killed in an encounter.
