New Delhi, May 11 (KNO): Expressing gratitude to the Indian armed forces for delivering justice to the victims of Pahalgam terror attack, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that ‘Naya Bharat' under PM Modi’s leadership is following the path of zero tolerance against terrorism.
Singh, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said, "The anti-India & terror organisations which attacked the crown of Bharat Mata (Kashmir) and erased the 'sindoor' from several families, Indian armed forces got justice for them through #OperationSindoor. So, the entire country is expressing gratitude to the Indian armed forces.”
He said, “Operation Sindoor is not just a military operation but also the symbol of India's political, social and strategic willpower. This operation against terrorism was also the display of India's willpower and military power & capability. We have shown that whenever India will take any action against terrorism, even the land beyond the border won't be safe for terrorists and their leaders.”
The Defence Minister said, “Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor to demolish terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. We never targeted their civilians. But Pakistan not only targeted civilian areas in India but also attempted to attack temples, gurdwaras and churches. With valour and bravery, Indian armed forces displayed restraint and gave a befitting reply by targeting other locations in Pakistan.”
“We not only targeted military bases near the border but the reverberation of Indian armed forces was heard even in Rawalpindi where the HQ of Pakistani Army is located,” he said, as per KNO.
Referring to the strikes carried out against the terrorist infrastructure during PM Modi’s regime in the past 11-years Singh said, “After Uri incident, the entire world saw what is the result of carrying out terrorist attacks in India, when our armed forces entered Pakistan and carried out surgical strikes. They saw it after Pulwama, when Balakot airstrike was done. After the Pahalgam incident, the world is watching when India entered Pakistan and carried out multiple strikes.”
He said that India has been following the path of zero tolerance against terrorism under PM Narendra Modi’s leadership. “PM Modi has made it clear that it is 'Naya Bharat' which will take effective steps against terrorism on both sides of the border. Our PM has made this very clear."—(KNO)
