BJP holds Tiranga rally at Srinagar's Lal Chowk to celebrate Op Sindoor
Srinagar, May 15 (UNI) The BJP on Thursday held a Tiranga Rally at Srinagar's historic Lal Chowk to celebrate the success of "Operation Sindoor". The rally, attended by BJP leaders and party workers, began at Sher-e-Kashmir Park and culminated at Lal Chowk, a location that has symbolic significance in Kashmir's political landscape. Holding the national flag, participants raised slogans against Pakistan and hailed the Indian Army and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'This rally at Lal Chowk is a tribute to the Indian Army and security forces for not only dismantling terror hubs in Pakistan but also showcasing India's strength and resolve,' said a BJP leader. 'This rally is an expression of our love for the nation.' BJP leader and chairperson of the J&K Waqf Board, Darakhshan Andrabi, said the rally was a moment of pride for every Indian. 'The Indian Army has made the entire country proud,' she said. The Srinagar's Lal Chowk has held political and symbolic importance for the BJP, especially after the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019. Lal Chowk and the adjoining area around the iconic Ghanta Ghar (Clock Tower), once considered a separatist stronghold, have become a frequent venue for pro-nationalist demonstrations and events in recent years. A day earlier, the J&K Muslim Rashtriya Manch also organized a Bharat Yatra at Lal Chowk to mark the success of Operation Sindoor and express solidarity with the armed forces. UNI MJR PRS

'The incident in Pahalgam was truly shocking for the entire world. I believe this is the first time such an atrocity has occurred. In the name of religion, terrorism struck, with terrorists attacking our brothers based on their names and religions. This has left 140 crore Indians deeply upset. In the wake of this, every Indian citizen desired action against Pakistan. They attacked our brothers because of their identities. The world mourned this tragedy. I want to thank our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, for listening to the voice of the people and taking decisive action against Pakistan. Indians were proud of the government they chose. The Indian Army has done an exemplary job and delivered a strong lesson to Pakistan. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Indian Army for their bravery and commitment,' stated Abu Bakr Naqvi, National Convenor of MRM during the media interaction. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen. After the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan. After this, on May 10, an understanding of the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan was announced.
