Describing Operation Sindoor as India’s firm response to the killings in Pahalgam, Shah reaffirmed the government’s commitment to confronting terrorism with strength.
He stated that the Modi administration will not tolerate any attack on the nation or its citizens and remains determined to dismantle terrorist networks.
The Indian Air Force carried out the early morning airstrikes on Wednesday, targeting at least nine terrorist camps located in both Pakistan and PoK.
The operation, according to sources, resulted in the elimination of approximately 70 terrorists, with over 60 others injured.
Key terror hubs like Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sarjal, and Mehmoona Joya were among those hit.
In a historic moment, two women officers, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, led the official briefing on Operation Sindoor.
Officials noted that their leadership served as a powerful symbol, honoring the women widowed by the Pahalgam attack and highlighting India’s resolve to stand strong against terrorism.
