“We have full faith in our armed forces, and we can say with confidence that we are safe today because of their sacrifices,” he said.

He further asserted that military action should target the root of terrorism, stating, “If the roots are destroyed, the branches will wither on their own.”

The SP president also informed that the government is expected to convene an all-party meeting soon to brief political leaders about Operation Sindoor.

He added that senior SP leader Prof Ram Gopal Yadav would represent the party at the meeting, where SP plans to suggest that the government scrap the Agniveer scheme and revert to the traditional method of soldier recruitment.
