J-K: LG meets soldiers in Poonch, says Op Sindoor has redrawn India's military limits
Poonch (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], May 21 (ANI): Calling it a 'new red line' in India's military doctrine, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said Operation Sindoor had redefined the country's strategic posture and demonstrated its capacity to strike with precision and resolve. He said this after his interaction with the soldiers in Poonch. Posting on the social media website X, Sinha wrote, 'In just 23 minutes, India brought the masters of Pakistani terrorists to their knees. If they raise their eyes towards Mother India again, not a single area of theirs would remain untouched by punishment.' India launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, including one Nepali tourist. Sinha praised the soldiers for their execution of the operation, saying, 'Salute to the brave soldiers of Army for their outstanding courage and gallantry in Operation Sindoor. During my interaction with the soldiers in Poonch, I recalled their invincible power, which ensured a decisive victory for Bharat.' Referring to the public response to the operation, the Lieutenant Governor said, 'Dharma has won and Adharma has surrendered before your weapons and might. I am proud that in just a few days, our brave soldiers broke the back of the enemy and today, 140 crore citizens are remembering your valour, courage and sacrifice.' Sinha said the operation had sent a clear message across the border. 'Operation Sindoor is a living example of India's military and strategic might. It has also proved that every inch of Pakistan's land is today the target of our brave soldiers, and the enemy knows that if it indulges in future misadventure, it will not survive.' Earlier in the day, Sinha visited Gurudwara Nangali Sahib in Poonch and offered prayers. On Tuesday, he chaired a unified command meeting at Raj Bhawan in Srinagar to review the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. 'We are the world's fifth-largest economy and will soon be the fourth. Our neighbour is trying to nurture terrorism with the loans it takes,' Sinha told the soldiers. 'The whole country is proud of your bravery and valour. The world has seen the capability of our armed forces to dismantle terror networks inside Pakistan,' he said, referring to the destruction of nine terror sites during Operation Sindoor. Precision strikes were carried out on nine identified terrorist camps across Pakistan.

This fight is between 'Dharma' and ‘Adharma': RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat on Pahalgam terror attack
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 25 (ANI): Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said that the current fight is between 'Dharma' (righteousness) and 'Adharma' (unrighteousness), rather than just a conflict between sects and religions. Speaking at an event in Mumbai, Bhagwat made the remarks in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. He also said that the fanatics who killed people by asking about their religion, Hindus, would never do this. In his address, the RSS Chief said, 'The fight that is going on right now is not between sects and religions. Its basis is sect and religion, but this fight is between 'Dharma' and 'Adharma'. Our soldiers or our people have never killed anyone by asking about their religion. The fanatics who killed people by asking about their religion, Hindus would never do this. That is why the country should be strong.' He further added, "Everyone is sad, there is anger in our hearts as it should be, because to destroy the demons, immense power is necessary. But some people are not ready to understand this, and there cannot be any kind of change in them now. Ravana was a devotee of Lord Shiva, knew the Vedas, had everything that was needed to be a good person, but the mind and intellect he had adopted were not ready to change. Ravana would not have changed until he died and was reborn. That is why Ram killed Ravana to change him." The RSS Chief said that evil people need to be eliminated, just like Lord Ram killed Ravana. "We are a people who see the good in everyone and accept all. Our country has an army, but there was a time we felt we didn't need one. We became complacent, thinking there would be no war, and in 1962, nature taught us a lesson. Since then, we have been striving to strengthen our defence. Evil must be eliminated. There is anger, and there is also expectation. I believe that expectation will be fulfilled. But such change doesn't come merely from weapons or anger. The true force behind it is closeness. It is intimacy that keeps society united. In Kaliyug, staying united is our greatest strength," Bhagwat said. The RSS Chief emphasised the importance of unity and closeness in society, stating that while evil must be eliminated, true strength lies in togetherness. "The wave of anger that swept the nation after the recent incident did not differentiate by caste, religion, creed, sect, region, or party. We stood together for the dignity of the country, and this must become our nature. When we are united like this, no one will dare cast a sidelong glance at us. And if they do, their eyes will be forced shut. But to reach that point, we must cultivate deep love and closeness among ourselves. Such incidents keep happening, and we respond strongly--this time too, we expect the same. But to prevent such events, society must unite. This is the very spirit the Constitution expects from us--emotional integration, a feeling of closeness," Bhagwat further added. The RSS Chief said that the nationwide outrage following the recent incident showed unity across different groups, and this unity is essential for the country's dignity. He further said, 'Once, it was said, 'Our religions are different; we cannot live together.' And the nation was divided. We accepted this, perhaps with the hope that things would improve. But even after 75 years, that hope remains unfulfilled. Just recently, the Army Chief of Pakistan reiterated the two-nation theory in his speech. We must take this seriously. The whole world is one family. No matter the religion or sect, eventually, everyone moves toward the same truth. Hatred is not our nature. Enmity is not our nature. But neither should helplessness be our nature. A powerful person should choose nonviolence. The weak have no other option. Our strength must be visible; only then will the world understand that these people are strong and should not be provoked. Only then do the evil forces of the world begin to understand.'
