‘Op Sindoor’ Bharat’s response to brutal killing in Pahalgam: Shah

NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said the ‘Operation Sindoor’ is Bharat’s response to the brutal killings of innocent people in Pahalgam.

Shah’s remarks came after Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba’s base in Muridke. The strike was codenamed as ‘Operation Sindoor’.

The home minister said the Modi government is resolved to give a befitting response to any attack on India and its people and Bharat remains firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots.

“Proud of our armed forces. #OperationSindoor is Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam,” he wrote on ‘X’.

Amit Shah has spoken to Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, following the Operation Sindoor, which has been initiated by the Indian Army in response to the ghastly Pahalgam terrorist attack.

The Union Home Minister is also constantly in touch with Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha and the Director General of the Border Security Force (BSF). Shah has instructed DG BSF to ensure all safety measures for people living in border areas.

Meanwhile, Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha reviewed the situation in the border districts of Jammu and Kashmir this morning.

He has directed the District Collectors to shift villagers from vulnerable areas and ensure essential services remain available.

"I've also directed the DCs for shifting of villagers from vulnerable areas to safer locations and ensuring boarding, lodging, food, medicare and transportation. We will ensure safety of every citizen. Jai Hind!" Office of Lieutenant Governor (J&K) posted on X.

Sinha said that the government was prepared to deal with any eventuality.

"Took stock of the situation in border districts of J&K UT with all the senior administrative, police and district officials including DCs of all the border districts. I'm closely monitoring the situation and government is fully prepared to deal with any eventuality," he added.
