Operation Sindoor gave message that India won't tolerate terrorism: Gujarat CM
The CM took part in the foot march that started from Vadaj area in the city and ended at Subhash Chandra Bose statue at the RTO circle, covering a distance of nearly 1.5 kilometres. Speaking during the 'Tiranga Yatra' foot march taken out to celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor, he also said that this military operation has awakened the spirit of nationalism. Ahmedabad, May 13 (PTI) Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Tuesday said that through Operation Sindoor, India has given a message that it will not compromise on its zero tolerance policy against terrorism. In his address at Vadaj, Patel congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian armed forces for the success of Operation Sindoor, a government release said. The yatra was organised by the BJP-ruled Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and various non-government organisations, it said. 'Operation Sindoor was the reflection of the sentiments of crores of Indians. The Indian Army has given a befitting reply to terrorists through Operation Sindoor. This is a resounding success in India's fight against terrorism,' CM Patel said. 'Under the leadership of PM Modi, India has conveyed to the world that we will not compromise on our policy of having zero tolerance against terrorism,' he added.
