"Military Operation 'Sindoor' not solely military, but Prime Minister Modi advocates for 'Unity' against Terrorism in his 'Mann Ki Baat'"
Prime Minister Modi Paises Valor of India's Armed Forces Following 'Operation Sindoor'
New Delhi - Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended the bravery of India's armed forces in the aftermath of 'Operation Sindoor', a military operation targeting terrorist infrastructure in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. In his monthly radio program, Mann Ki Baat, Modi stated that the nation stands united against terrorism, filled with determination and righteous anger.
Addressing the nation, Modi expressed pride in the valiance displayed by the armed forces during 'Operation Sindoor', highlighting the precision with which they destroyed terrorist hideouts across the border. He emphasized that Operation Sindoor serves as a testament to India's resolve, courage, and transformation.
The Prime Minister further pointed out the success of indigenous weapons used during the operation, attributing it to the indomitable spirit of Indian engineers, technicians, and all those involved in this victory. He noted that the operation reinforces the spirit of 'self-reliant India'.
Operation Sindoor was initiated in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, where militants targeted villagers, resulting in 26 deaths. This incident was aimed at incite communal violence and shift the threat from cross-border raids to efforts aimed at dividing India from within.
In an outpouring of patriotism across the country, citizens have rallied behind the armed forces, participating in 'Tiranga Yatras' and pledging support for Indian-made products. Remarkably, some families have named their newborns Sindoor in honor of the operation. In Katihar, Bihar, a baby girl was named Sindoor symbolizing patriotic sentiment and emotional unity. Similarly, in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, 17 newborn girls were named Sindoor, as parents viewed it as an honor to pay tribute to the nation.
Modi also highlighted the operation's strategic success, setting a new precedent in India's counter-terrorism strategy by showcasing a measured approach that balances military action with restraint to prevent broader escalation. The operation, therefore, stands as a significant example of India’s evolving approach to counter-terrorism and national security.
