India’s armed forces early Wednesday destroyed nine terror sites including that of Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) using deep strike missiles in a 25-minute-long ‘measured and non-escalatory’ mission.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said India decided to carry out the ‘proportionate’ strikes to bring the perpetrators and planners of the Pahalgam attack to justice as there was ‘no demonstrable step’ from Pakistan to act against terrorist infrastructure on territories under its control.
It was for the first time since the 1971 Indo-Pak war that India carried out an aerial attack deep inside Punjab province of Pakistan.
The Opposition parties cutting across party lines showed rare bipartisan spirit and hailed the armed forces for their effort and lauded their courage .

1. भारतीय सशस्त्र बलों पर हम गर्व करते हैं, जिन्होंने ‘Operation Sindoor’ के तहत पाकिस्तान और PoK के आतंकी ठिकानों पर साहसिक और निर्णायक कार्रवाई करते हुए मुहंतोड़ जवाब दिया है। हम अपने जाँबाज़ सैनिकों के साहस, दृढ़ संकल्प और राष्ट्रभक्ति को सलाम करते हैं।
