Operation Sindoor: Gautam Gambhir hails India’s strike on Pakistan terror camps with ‘Jai Hind’ chant
New Delhi: Following a coordinated Indian military operation targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir on May 7, numerous current and former Indian cricketers publicly expressed their support for the action. The operation, involving strikes at nine locations, reportedly resulted in the elimination of eighty terrorists.
Following the Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in 26 fatalities, several former Indian cricketers, including Gautam Gambhir, Aakash Chopra, and Pragyan Ojha, publicly expressed their appreciation for the Indian armed forces’ response. Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Varun Chakravarthy also shared the army’s image of ‘Operation Sindoor’ on his Instagram account.
Indian security forces conducted a multi-pronged counter-terrorism operation in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, resulting in the reported deaths of over eighty terrorists. The operation, which involved targeted strikes on terrorist infrastructure, occurred early Wednesday morning.
Following the April 22nd Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians, a large-scale cross-border operation targeted nine sites linked to the militant groups Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen. This is considered one of the most extensive such operations in recent times.
Indian forces launched significant strikes in Bahawalpur and Muridke, areas believed to be key operational bases for the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) respectively. Intelligence suggests that approximately 25-30 militants were killed in each location. One target, the Masjid wa Markaz Taiba in Muridke, is a known LeT facility considered central to the group’s ideology and operations.
Several locations associated with banned groups, including launch sites, training camps, and radicalization centers, were targeted in the strikes. While the confirmed death toll is still pending verification from all affected areas, officials estimate it to be between 80 and 90.
Following a military operation, the Indian Army posted a short video on X, stating that justice had been delivered.
