Residents welcome Operation Sindoor, say revenge taken

To express solidarity and satisfaction over the “revenge” taken by the defence forces for the Pahalgam attack on April 22, people belonging to different sections of society have thanked the forces. The residents said that the strikes brought out their nationalistic sentiments and they remained awake throughout the night, watching news channels for the latest updates.

Shahi Imam, Punjab, Mohammad Usman Ludhianvi said that the entire country was waiting for the action by the Indian forces. “I appreciate the action taken by the Air Force and at the same time, I appeal to the masses not to spread fake and false news on social media platforms. Besides, the way the Pahalgam attack took place all of a sudden, Indian armed forces have attacked the terror camps in the same manner,” the Shahi Imam said.

The president of the district unit of BJP, Rajnish Dhiman, said that it was a clear message to Pakistan and terrorists that terrorism of any kind would be dealt with sternly by India. “We are waiting and watching everything as the situation is still tense, but we thank our forces to have conducted the operation so well, where no civilian was targeted and only terrorists were killed. 140 crore of Indian population was waiting for this act of bravery by the Indian forces,” said Dhiman.

Gaurav, a resident of Civil Lines, said that he was awake till 1.30 am. “One of my friends is in Pakistan and he told me that India had attacked Pakistan, which was unbelievable as all were waiting for the regular mock drill to take place today (May 7). We immediately switched on the television and all channels were flashing the news that Indian missiles had attacked the terrorist camps at nine places in Pakistan. Since then, the phones are continuously ringing and the entire family was awake. This is actually what we Indians wanted. We are thankful to our forces for being so accurate as only terrorists have been targeted in these attacks,” he said.
