Operation Sindoor is not just a name but India’s latest policy against terror as it has set a new standard, a ‘new normal’ in counter-terrorism measures, Prime Minister Minister Narendra Modi asserted.
In his first address to the nation post military action against Pakistan, the prime minister said a new line has been drawn with Operation Sindoor .
“Operation Sindoor was not just a name. Operation Sindoor is now India’s established policy in the fight against terrorism, marking a decisive shift in India’s strategic approach. The operation has set a new standard, a new normal in counter-terrorism measures,” he said.
“Today, every terrorist knows the consequences of wiping the sindoor off the foreheads of our sisters and daughters. Operation Sindoor is an unwavering pledge for justice. Terrorists dared to wipe the sindoor off the foreheads of our sisters, that is why India destroyed the very headquarters of terror,” Modi said.
India launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7 to destroy nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed.
All subsequent retaliations to Pakistani offensives were carried out under Operation Sindoor.
The two countries on Saturday 10th may announced arriving at an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea with immediate effect.
