"Jai Hind": Rahul Gandhi Praises Armed Forces After Operation Sindoor
New Delhi: Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi praised the Indian Army for carrying out Operation Sindoor, initiating precision strikes aimed at the terror infrastructure in Pakistan. "Proud of our Armed Forces. Jai Hind!" Mr Gandhi posted on X. Congress leader Pawan Khera said, "We are proud of our Army. If someone threatens Indian citizens, they will meet the same fate. Our Army has proven that again. On the night of April 22, we (Congress) said that we would stand with the government. If someone threatens India, we will support what the government decides. The country stands united." Congress chief and Rajya Sabha LoP Mallikarjun Kharge also applauded the accomplishment of the Indian armed forces during Operation Sindoor, saying that national unity and solidarity were the need of the hour. He said that the Congress has stood with the decisions of the armed forces and the government since the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 people. "Since the day of the Pahalgam Terror Attack, the Indian National Congress has categorically stood with the Armed Forces and the Government to take any decisive action against cross border terror. National Unity and solidarity are the need of the hour, and the Indian National Congress stands with our Armed Forces. Our leaders have shown the path in past, and National Interest is supreme for us," Mr Kharge posted on X. "India has an unflinching National Policy against all forms of terrorism emanating from Pakistan and PoK. We are extremely proud of our Indian Armed Forces who have stuck terror camps in Pakistan and PoK. We applaud their resolute resolve and courage," he added. Meanwhile, Asavari Jagdale, daughter of the Santosh Jagdale, who was killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, expressed her appreciation for the efforts taken by the government and the Indian Army to avenge the loss of innocent lives in the ghastly terrorist attack. Speaking to ANI on Wednesday, Ms Jagdale said that the loss of husbands and fathers to many was not left in vain. She also said that India has paid genuine homage and served justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack by initiating Operation Sindoor. The daughter added that the operation's name extends solidarity to the victims' widows. "We got calls from our relatives (about Operation Sindoor). India has avenged the Pahalgam attack through these air strikes. I was extremely emotional after hearing the name (Sindoor) of the mission. When Amit Shah came to Srinagar to pay homage to those who were given 'veer maran', the sisters who lost their husbands were pleading. I think this is why such a name has been attributed to the operation," Ms Jagdale said. India has carried out its deepest strikes inside Pakistan's undisputed territory since 1971, according to CNN, successfully targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This marks New Delhi's most significant military action within Pakistani territory in over five decades.

'Hope Pakistan Got A Lesson': Pahalgam Victim's Daughter Hails Operation Sindoor
Last Updated: Asawari Jagdale, the daughter of one of the Pahlagam victims, Santosh Jagdale, said India has taken the right action. The families of the victims of Pahalgam terror attack have come in unison to support Operation Sindoor – India's retaliation to the April 22 attack that killed 26 civilians. Asawari Jagdale, the daughter of one of the Pahlagam victims, Santosh Jagdale, said India has taken the right action, adding she hopes Pakistan got its lesson. 'I hope Pakistan has got a lesson by the action taken by India today. The Indian government has taken the right action. Terrorism should be finished completely," Jagdale said. Reaction to the name of the operation – Sindoor – Jagdale said it was 'perfect". Jagdale's father and uncle were shot by terrorists right in front of her in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley on April 22. 'They kept yelling at us, saying we are the reason for their pain. Then they forced my father and others to recite religious verses and shot them if they hesitated," she had said. Operation Sindoor On the intervening night of May 6 and 7, Indian missiles struck terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), two weeks after cross-border terrorists killed 26 people in Pahalgam. New Delhi described the strikes – called Operation Sindoor – as 'measured and non-escalatory," emphasising that no Pakistani military facilities were targeted. Sources said the strikes were carefully calibrated, with precision targeting. Prime Minister Narendra Modi monitored the entire operation, sources said. Reports indicated that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) headquarters and a madrasa linked to Masood Azhar's Jaish-e-Mohammed may have been among the sites hit. Both groups are notorious for orchestrating attacks against India. Preliminary assessments suggest over 10 terrorists were killed and several dozen injured. First Published: May 07, 2025, 07:35 IST
