Operation Sindoor: India's Retaliation for Pahalgam Attack

Operation Sindoor was conducted by the Indian Armed Forces as a response to the Pahalgam terror attack, targeting nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This strategic strike was recognized as a crucial measure to dismantle terror hideouts, drawing praise for its precision and diplomacy.

Advocate and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ujjwal Nikam on Wednesday underscored the critical nature of Operation Sindoor, describing it as retribution for the Pahalgam terror attack. In an interview with ANI, Nikam highlighted the cultural significance of the operation's code name 'Sindoor', emphasizing its role in avenging the untimely loss inflicted upon daughters and mothers.

Further, Nikam pointed out that China has refrained from fully backing Pakistan, citing its own historical struggles with terrorism. 'China has previously suffered from terrorism, prompting their current stance against it. Hence, China hasn't extended wholehearted support to Pakistan. The Modi administration meticulously selected nine targets, stating that any continued aggression would incur a heavy price,' Nikam stated.

Nikam commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Armed Forces for executing Operation Sindoor, hailing it as a 'necessary shock' to Pakistan. He assured that no civilians were targeted, expressing gratitude towards PM Modi's leadership and the army's precise targeting through international diplomacy.

Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian Armed Forces executed strategic strikes on terror hideouts within Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir under 'Operation Sindoor' at approximately 1:30 am on Wednesday. The operation saw the selection and neutralization of nine terror targets. Details were disclosed during a media briefing by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Col Sophiya Qureshi.

Addressing the media, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, alongside Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Col Sophiya Qureshi, clarified that Operation Sindoor was launched to deliver justice to Pahalgam attack victims and their families. Singh noted that the operation precisely targeted nine terror sites, ensuring no civilian harm or infrastructure damage.

In a detailed presentation, Col Sofiya Qureshi showcased video evidence of the terror camp demolitions, including sites linked to Muridke, where 2008 Mumbai attack perpetrators were trained. India accomplished its deepest penetration into undisputed Pakistani territory since 1971, marking a significant military intervention against terror camps in both Pakistan and Pakistan-held Jammu and Kashmir.
