Indian Envoy To UK Hails Operation Sindoor, Terms It Example In Fight Against Terrorism
High Commissioner of India to the UK Vikram Doraiswami on Friday lauded the country's decisive and resolute response to the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, saying Operation Sindoor would go down in history as a landmark in humanity's fight against terrorism. Doraiswami was speaking at the 79th Independence Day celebrations in London, attended by Union Minister Ramdas Athawale and members of the Indian diaspora. As part of the 79th Independence Day celebrations, the event featured Indian classical music, followed by the singing of the national anthem and the flag-hoisting ceremony. "This year, we had to face the scourge of terrorism. Killing innocent citizens on holiday in Kashmir was cowardly and utterly inhuman. India responded in a decisive manner and with steely resolve. Operation Sindoor showed that our armed forces are prepared to meet any eventuality when it comes to guarding the nation. With strategic clarity and technical capability, they destroyed terrorist hubs across the border. I believe, Operation Sindoor will go down in history as an example in humanity's fight against terrorism," he said. Doraiswami stressed that the world has taken note of India's stance, stating that the country will not be the aggressor but will not hesitate to retaliate in defence of its citizens. "Our unity was on display also in the multi-party delegations of the Members of Parliament that reached out to various nations to explain India's position. The world has taken note of India's stance, that we will not be the aggressor, but we will not hesitate to retaliate in defence of our citizens," he added.

Doraiswami further pointed out that Operation Sindoor demonstrated the strength of India's indigenous defence manufacturing capabilities, which, he said, have now reached a critical level of self-sufficiency in meeting many of the nation's security requirements. "The outcome has proved that we are on the right path. Our indigenous manufacturing has achieved the critical level that makes us self-sufficient in meeting many of our security requirements. These are landmark achievements in India's defence history since Independence," Doraiswami said.

Delhi BJP chief seeks public support for reshaping national capital
New Delhi: Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva hoisted the national flag at the city party office and urged people to take the pledge of working with the government to reshape the national capital. Sachdeva paid tributes to the martyrs of Pahalgam and congratulated the Indian Armed Forces for the success of Operation Sindoor, which restored India's pride. He stated that after a decade of anarchic governance in the national capital, the 79th Independence Day is especially joyful for Delhiites as a BJP government has been formed after 27 years. Sachdeva emphasised that Independence Day is not only for making national resolutions but also for resolving to eradicate social evils. He expressed regret that even after 79 years of India's Independence, "the social evil of harassment of women still brings us shame". He appealed to the people of Delhi to take a pledge this Independence Day to free our sisters, daughters, and daughters-in-law from the evil so that they too can live their lives freely. Those present on this occasion included MP and former president Manoj Tiwari, Organization General Secretary Pawan Rana, General Secretary Vishnu Mittal, Vice Presidents and MLAs Rajkumar Bhatia and Gajendra Yadav, MLA Shyam Sharma, Office Secretaries Brijesh Rai and Amit Gupta, Media Head Praveen Shankar Kapoor, Media Relations Head Vikram Mittal, Women's Wing President Richa Pandey, Youth Wing President Sagar Tyagi, Former MLAs Subhash Sachdeva and Nitin Tyagi. Earlier, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta led Independence Day celebrations of the Delhi government on Friday and hit out at the previous AAP government for making the national capital suffer even for small issues related to development. Hoisting the national flag at Chhatrasal Stadium on the 79th Independence Day, CM Gupta said, 'On the birthday of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the government is going to launch the Atal Canteen scheme to offer a Rs-5 meal to our workers.' A key promise in BJP's manifesto, the Atal Canteen Scheme promises nutritious food at a nominal price of Rs 5 to residents of slum areas in Delhi. On its implementation, the Atal Canteen Scheme will be the first of its kind, offering nutritious food at such an affordable price. Earlier targeting the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for slowing down development in the city, the CM said, 'It was a matter of shame that even after 78 years of Independence, the Capital had to struggle to fulfil its needs and aspirations. It is really painful that the Yamuna was neglected for years, without any serious effort to clean it.' She said: 'As the head of the Delhi government, I promise you that the Yamuna will become pristine again and its banks will turn welcoming for prayers and festivities.' The Chief Minister assured speedy transformation of the national capital and providing houses for all slum dwellers. -
