“India always advocated for peace. It never wants a war, but what happened in Pahalgam was an act of war by the terror state Pakistan. With ‘Operation Sindoor’, we have avenged Pahalgam. I am proud of our soldiers and armed forces. Our war was to teach Pakistan a lesson”, he said.

”We are resolved to dismantle the entire terror ecosystem from Jammu and Kashmir. On the night of May 6-7, our Armed Forces executed a precise Operation Sindoor, demonstrating both unwavering resolve and commendable restraint, and successfully demolished terror factories in Pakistan, and avenged the killing of innocent civilians in Pahalgam.
