New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev have sent a clear message to the masterminds of terror about the consequences of playing with the lives of Indian citizens.
Shah also said that while Operation Sindoor brought satisfaction among the people, Operation Mahadev, launched in July, which eliminated terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack, transformed that satisfaction into confidence.
Honoring the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and CRPF personnel, who successfully carried out Operation Mahadev, Shah said, “The security forces have shown the world that no matter how many tactics or strategies terrorists may adopt, they can no longer hurt India and escape. At a time when tourism was at its peak in Kashmir, the Pahalgam attack was a failed attempt to derail the ‘Kashmir Mission’.”
“Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev have sent a clear message to the masterminds of terror about the consequences of playing with the lives of Indian citizens,” he said. Along with the Army and paramilitary forces, Shah said that the J&K Police now play a leading role in the fight against terrorism.

We must be prepared for long wars: Rajnath SinghDefense Minister Rajnath Singh has said that India must stay prepared for short and long wars as new technologies have transformed the nature of warfare, and it is hard to predict how long a conflict can drag on. “In today’s era, it is very difficult to predict when a war will end. We must be prepared for every situation. We must be prepared so that our surge capacity is sufficient. If any war stretches for two months, four months, a year, two years, or even five years, then we should be fully prepared for it,” Singh said at Ran Samwad, a top military conclave on the impact of technology on warfare, in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh. The sheer numbers of soldiers or the size of the weapon stockpile are no longer enough, he said. “Cyber warfare, artificial intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicles, and satellite-based surveillance are shaping the wars of the future." Modern battles are no longer confined to land, sea, and air, and now extend to outer space and cyberspace, the defence minister said, adding that satellite systems, anti-satellite weapons, and space command centres are the new instruments of power. |
