Amit Shah Hailed PM Modi’s Leadership
“The response was such that it destroyed camps 100 km inside Pakistan. Our military gave a befitting reply to terrorists by attacking 100 km inside Pakistan. Those who planned many international terrorist activities who were hidden in Sialkot and other terrorist camps; ‘un sab ko hamare bomb ke dhamakon ke gunj ne ek spasht sandesh bheja hai’ – if any terrorist activity happens with the people of India, the response will be twice in strength,” Shah said. The Union Home Minister’s words carried a strong message to terrorists and their handlers, both within and outside the country.

He also emphasised that despite threats from Pakistan being a nuclear weapon state, India’s armed forces had given a fitting reply. “Those who used to threaten us that they have atom bombs, they thought we would be scared. But, our Army, Navy, and Air Force have given them such a befitting reply that the entire world is praising the patience of our military and the determined leadership of PM Modi,” Shah said. The Union Home Minister’s words were an example of the courage and resilience of India’s armed forces, who have consistently demonstrated their ability to respond to threats with precision and determination.
India’s Operation Sindoor
The Operation Sindoor was a major military operation launched by India in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The operation resulted in the death of over 100 terrorists and the destruction of several terrorist camps. Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling and drone attacks, but India’s coordinated counter-attack damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres, and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan. The operation was a massive demonstration of India’s military capabilities and its resolve to tackle terrorism.
