Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday lauded Operation Sindoor by Indian armed forces against terrorists in Pakistan and PoK and said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is resolved to give a befitting response to any attack on India and its people.
Shah said that Operation Sindoor is India’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam. He asserted that India remains firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots.
In a military operation following the Pahalgam terror attack, India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, striking nine high-value terror targets deep inside Pakistani territory. The operation targeted infrastructure linked to terror groups responsible for the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to official statements, the nine targets included camps and logistical bases associated with terror groups operating from within Pakistan and PoK. The Indian Army’s spokesperson emphasised the precise nature of the strikes, stating, “Our actions have been focused and precise. We have only targeted terrorist camps from where attacks against India have been planned and executed.”
The Army further clarified that the operation was non-escalatory in intent and execution, aiming strictly at dismantling terror infrastructure while sparing civilian, military, and economic structures in Pakistan. “Justice is served. Jai Hind,” the spokesperson added.
Indian intelligence agencies had earlier traced the Pahalgam attack to Pakistan-based groups, with The Resistance Front — a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy — claiming responsibility. In response, India had vowed a decisive countermeasure, combining diplomatic pressure with military preparedness. Operation Sindoor marks one of the most significant cross-border actions taken by India since the Balakot airstrikes in 2019.
