While India's Air Defence System neutralised all the missiles and drones directed toward cities in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan, Rayudu called for restraint on social media. He wrote the famous quote 'An eye for an eye makes the world blind,' which is often attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, on X.
