Operation Sindoor is Bharat’s response…, proud of our armed forces: Amit Shah lauds India’s military response to Pahalgam terror attack

Operation Sindoor: Hours after India’s historic tri-service military strike on terrorists infrastructure in Pakistan, Home Minister Amit Shah issued his first statement with regards to India’s move. Taking to social media, Shah expressed his pride in India “befitting response” to “terrorism”.

The Home Minister wrote, “#OperationSindoor is Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam. The Modi government is resolved to give a befitting response to any attack on India and its people. Bharat remains firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots.”

 

 

Shah’s remarks came after Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba’s base in Muridke. The strike was codenamed as ‘Operation Sindoor’. The Indian strike was carried out in response to the April 22 terrorists attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam where 26 people were killed.

The home minister said the Modi government is resolved to give a befitting response to any attack on India and its people and Bharat remains firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots.

Leaders Across Party Line React on Operation Sindoor

Leaders and top politicians across Indian party lines have hailed the tri-service attack. Several MPs have shared slogans Bharat Mata ki Jai’ and ‘Jai Hind’ on their social media handles and  rallied appreciation.

The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, said he was proud of the armed forces and signed off with the slogan “Jai Hind”. LJP (Ram Vilas) leader and Union minister Chirag Paswan said, “Satyamev Jayate. Jai Hind ki Sena.”

Terror headquarters of banned Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen were targeted under ‘Operation Sindoor’ with IAF carrying out night raids on the nine hideouts located in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, officials said here on Wednesday.

Among the targets hit in a precise operation were Markaz Subhan Allah at Bahawalpur, Sarjal at Tehra Kalan, Markaz Abbas in Kotli and Syedna Bilal camp in Muzaffarabad (all of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed terror group).
