NEW DELHI, May 7: President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday said that Operation Sindoor is a defining testament to India’s unwavering resolve against terrorism and that the country stands vigilant, united and prepared to respond with strength to those who seek to threaten “Bharat”.
“The extraordinary success of this mission reflects the unmatched courage and determination of our armed forces. The brutal attack at Pahalgam was met with befitting and exemplary precision,” Murmu said in a post on X.
“Operation Sindoor stands as a defining testament to India’s unwavering resolve against terrorism and all forces that threaten our sovereignty and the safety of our citizens,”
she said on the military strikes’ first anniversary.
Those who seek to threaten Bharat must know that our nation stands vigilant, united, and prepared to respond with strength, the president said.
“Today, the nation salutes the indomitable bravery, sacrifice and professionalism of our soldiers,” she said.
Operation Sindoor was carried out by the country’s defence forces, targeting terrorist and military facilities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir from May 7-10, 2025.
This operation was carried out in retaliation to the April 22, 2025 terror attack in Pahalgam in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed in cold blood by three Pakistani terrorists. (Agencies)
