Operation Sindoor succeeded in instilling fear in minds of terrorists, says Rajnath Singh

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, on Monday, said India's Operation Sindoor, launched in the wake of the Pahalgam attack in which 26 people were killed, achieved all objectives and succeeded in "instilling fear" in the minds of terrorists.

 

The defence minister was addressing a gathering at an event held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan complex. He released a curated collection of 51 speeches by President Droupadi Murmu delivered by her during her second year in office.

 

Singh described President Murmu as the best example of women-led development in India, adding that under the leadership of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Indian soldiers carried out the historic Operation Sindoor.

 

He commended her for constantly encouraging the armed forces personnel.

 

Singh lauded Murmu and said he considered this book—'Wings to Our Hopes, Volume 2'—a "document for scripting India's future".

 

This volume follows its predecessor in chronicling the evolving discourse on governance, inclusivity and national aspirations.

 

Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw and Union Minister of State L Murugan were also present on the dais during the event.
