Meet The Two Army Men Who Designed Operation Sindoor Logo
New Delhi: The simple yet symbolic logo of India's Operation Sindoor which has captured the imagination of millions of people across the country, was designed by two Army men. India decimated nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir with precision strikes early on May 7 in response to the dastardly April 22 Pahalgam massacre. Shortly after, the Indian Army's social media handles carried a poignant message with a poster that has now become a defining image of Operation Sindoor. According to the latest edition of India Army's magazine 'Baatcheet' dedicated to Operation Sindoor, the logo of the decisive military action was designed by Lt Col Harsh Gupta and Hav Surinder Singh. In its special issue, it also shared the photographs of the two Armymen, flanked by the now famed logo, and some figures in a box, indicating the massive traction it has garnered on different social media platforms, including X and Instagram. The opening section of the 17-page magazine carries the logo emblazoned across the page with the emblem of the India Army graced on top. The next page recalls the Pahalgam attack that shook the nation and drew condemnation from multiple countries, heads of state and other top leaders. "On 22 April 2025, the nation witnessed a dastardly and brutal act of violence where five terrorists killed 26 innocent civilians in the name of religion. This incident occurred in the serene meadows of Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam, where the tourists had gone to celebrate life with fervor. This incident fortified the resolve of our country to fight terror with punitive action," reads a text captioned 'Pahalagam'. The text is accompanied with photographs of the aftermath of the attack, rows of coffins and of the emotional farewell at a funeral of one of the victims. The 11th page of the magazine also carries a photograph of Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi looking at a screen grid, and mentions the timestamp -- date May 7, 2025, time 0105 hrs. The strike was conducted on May 7 from 1.05 am to 1.30 am under Operation Sindoor and it was launched to deliver justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and their families, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Col Sofiya Qureshi told a press conference hours after the military action. At 1.44 am that day, the government, in a statement, underlined that India has demonstrated "considerable restraint" in the selection of targets and method of execution and that "no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted". Shortly after, the Indian Army's social media handles carried a message with a poster. Along with the message "#PahalgamTerrorAttack Justice is Served. Jai Hind!" the Indian Army's 1.51 am X post carried the poster that was concise in words but heavy on symbolism. The poster had 'OPERATION SINDOOR' written on it with a small bowl carrying vermilion (worn by married Hindu women) forming the first 'O' of the second word while the second 'O' had a dash of the powder around it. Since then, the Indian Army has come up with several thematic short videos on social media platforms that have been widely shared and appreciated. All these videos were made in-house, by the Social Media Section of the Indian Army's Additional Directorate General of Strategic Communication, sources in the military establishment said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that Operation Sindoor was not just a military mission, but "the face of a changing India" that reflects the country's resolve, courage, and growing strength on the global stage. Addressing his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister termed Operation Sindoor as a turning point in the global fight against terror and a symbol of India's growing strength and clarity of purpose.

Naidu leads Tiranga Yatra in Vijayawada hailing Operation Sindoor
More than 15,000 people participated in the massive Tiranga Yatra rally held by the ruling Telugu Desam Party and its alliance partners in Andhra Pradesh – the Jana Sena Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party - in Vijayawada on Friday, to hail the recent Indian military mission - Operation Sindoor, to decimate terrorist bases in Pakistan. TDP president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu led the rally, joined by NDA allies, as the tricolour fluttered high throughout the march. The rally, held in tribute to India's armed forces and their sacrifices, echoed with nationalistic slogans and witnessed enthusiastic participation from all sections of society. Addressing the massive gathering, Naidu evoked strong sentiments about recent terror incidents. 'When we hear the name 'Pahalagam', it triggers anger and fury within us. It is a situation that warns us to stay alert and vigilant,' he said. Citing the heartbreaking terror incident he added, 'A husband was killed in front of his wife, a father was killed in front of his son — they were asked their religion and name before being murdered. After witnessing such incidents, every Indian felt a surge of anger.' Endorsing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for avenging the Pahalgam terror attack, Naidu said the Prime Minister had decided that there is no place on this soil for a terrorist who wiped off 'Sindoor' from the forehead of our daughters. 'That's when Operation Sindoor was launched,' he said. Deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, BJP state president and MP Daggubati Purandeswari, state ministers, MLAs, MLCs, and top officials took part in the Tiranga Yatra.

"Do politics, let country go to....": BJP's Nishikant Dubey slams opposition for demanding special Parliament Session
New Delhi [India], May 11 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey on Sunday hit out at the opposition for demanding a special Parliament Session after India and Pakistan came to a cessation of hostilities understanding, saying that it was an attempt to provide Pakistan with the material to spew venom against Indian on the international stage. 'Call a session of the parliament, let all opposition parties abuse the government, get the Indian army maligned in the Pakistani media and provide terrorist Pakistan with the material to spew venom against India on the international stage. Do politics, let the country go to hell,' Dubey posed on X. This comes after the opposition leaders have been calling for a all-party meeting, demanding that Prime Minister Narednra Modi covenes it, and a special parliament session to discuss the chain of events leading to cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan. Congress President and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Rajya Sabha Malikarjun Kharge wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterating the Opposition's unanimous request for a special session of Parliament to discuss several issues. The issues included the Pahalagam terror attack, Operation Sindoor and the announcement of cessation of hostilities from Washington DC and by the Governments of India and Pakistan. Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi reiterated the 'unanimous request' of the Opposition to convene a special session of Parliament 'immediately.' 'It is crucial for the people and their representatives to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor and today's ceasefire, first announced by U.S. President Trump. This will also be an opportunity to demonstrate our collective resolve to meet the challenges ahead. I trust that you will consider this demand seriously and swiftly,' Rahul Gandhi said. (ANI) Meanwhile, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate questioned if the Simla Agreement stood cancelled, further stating that Kashmir was India's and no one would be allowed to intervene in it. 'The US Secretary of State says that both countries will meet in a neutral place. Does this mean that the Simla Agreement has been cancelled? The US president is saying that I will mediate in the Kashmir issue. But, Kashmir is an integral part of India, and we will never allow anyone to intervene in it,' she further stated. (ANI)
