New Delhi: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said Operation Sindoor was a balanced military response that signalled India is no longer bound by traditional boundaries, but is using modern technology, accurate intelligence, and smart military strategies to target terror.
“It was a clear message from India that we are tolerant, but when it comes to the safety of our people and the dignity of our country, we unite and face every challenge boldly. Operation Sindoor is a part of India’s new policy, a clear message that no matter how deep the roots of terrorism are, its complete destruction will be ensured,” Singh said in a message to soldiers on the eve of the country’s 79th Independence Day.
The success of Operation Sindoor is being celebrated at the Independence Day function at Red Fort, three months after Indian forces hit terror and military targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
Operation Sindoor will continue until the goal of complete destruction of terrorism is achieved, Singh said, on a day the government announced gallantry awards for soldiers who took part in the operation.
The minister described India’s actions during the operation as “a shining example of a precise and successful military strategy, and a glimpse of a new vision, technological advancements and self-reliance.”
