‘No one should meddle with India': HM Amit Shah on Operation Sindoor
Nanded: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said that Operation Sindoor has not only sent a message to Pakistan but to the entire world, forever, that no one should meddle with India's army, people, and borders, otherwise, they will have to face the consequences.
At a Shankhnad rally, the Home Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it clear that if anyone attacks the innocent citizens, a bullet will be answered with a cannon.
'This operation was named Operation Sindoor for sending a message to the entire world that the vermilion on the foreheads of our mothers, sisters, and daughters is not cheap. If anyone dares to harm their vermilion, they will have to answer with their blood,' he said.
Shah said that on April 22, Pakistan-supported terrorists committed a cowardly act, targeting and killing innocent travellers in front of their families after questioning their religion.
'PM Modi had said in Patna that no matter where you hide, you will be found and reduced to dust. Pakistan forgot that PM Modi's government has been here for 11 years now. Terrorists attacked Uri, we conducted a surgical strike. They attacked Pulwama, we carried out an air strike. They attacked Pehalgam, we executed Operation Sindoor and razed their main bases to the ground. Hundreds of terrorists were obliterated in our airstrike,' he added.
Shah further said that on May 7 at 1:04 AM, the Indian armed forces destroyed nine terrorist locations in 22 minutes and also blew up their headquarters.
'On May 8, Pakistan carried out attacks with drones and missiles. But our air defence system was so robust that not a single missile, not a single drone of theirs could touch Indian soil; they were all neutralised in the air,' he said.
He added that we have to build a Viksit Bharat by 2047, but also create an India that no one dares to attempt any misadventure against.
'While Operation Sindoor was underway, Operation Black Forest was also in progress. Our CRPF, Chhattisgarh Police, and BSF have successfully destroyed many Maoists. So far, numerous Maoists have been killed, and many more have surrendered. Let me assure you that by 31 March 2026, we will be a Maoist-free nation,' said the Union Home Minister.

General Electric Eager to Power India's 5th Gen Fighter Jet
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Popular in Epaper US' General Electric (GE) will vie for the contract to make engines for the Indian Air Force 's fifth-generation stealth fighter or advanced medium combat aircraft , chairman and chief executive Larry Culp told ET in an said the aerospace major considers India a strategically important market for both the civil and defence aerospace businesses.'We are very interested,' he said. 'If you look at what we're doing with the Tejas with our 404 engines, we are right in the middle of probably what matters most in that regard. The US and India enjoy a very strong relationship. So we are here, we want to be supportive and are engaged so we possibly can be.'Last month, India announced a long-awaited plan to fast-track the development of an indigenous fifth-generation stealth fighter. The announcement came days after Operation Sindoor against of the most critical components—a high-thrust engine—will likely be developed through a joint venture with a foreign manufacturer. GE will face competition on this from rivals such as Safran and is also stepping up the delivery of jet engines to plane maker Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) for the Tejas Mark-1A fighter, which has been much delayed. In March, GE delivered the first of 99 F-404 engines, around two years behind schedule.'That is our intent and we've communicated that to everyone,' Culp said. 'We are working with the suppliers to ramp their capability. We're making good progress. I just look at April and May of this year compared to where we were in the first quarter—we've seen a double-digit increase in the number of receipts.'IAF chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh recently voiced concerns about delays in the procurement of critical military military programmes and commercial airline sales are increasingly being delayed due to the inability of manufacturers to ramp up production. Culp said that though multiple actions are being taken to lessen the impact, it will be a while before the problem is solved.'We are making a tremendous amount of progress not only in GE but across the industry,' he said. 'But when you look at the demand expectations that only increase every year, we're going to be talking about supply chain for a while. That's just the nature of the challenge where we are in a super cycle.'GE will also look to set up a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility for civilian aircraft engines in India once the volume increases. 'I think that's more a matter of when, as opposed to if,' he said. 'We want to make sure we have the underlying volume in the marketplace that would support those investments.'GE has more than 1,400 engines operating in India, powering both narrow and wide body aircraft and an order book for around 2,500 more. 'The number is sufficient to say that India is a priority country for us,' Culp you look at what we're doing with the Tejas with 404 engines, we are right in the middle of probably what matters most... The US and India enjoy a very strong relationship. So we are here, we want to be supportive.
