Operation Sindoor

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India's surgical strikes and Operation Sindoor stand as bold examples of the country's counter-terrorism policy. He framed the military operations as evidence of a decisive shift in how India responds to terrorist threats, underlining a doctrine of direct action against targets rather than purely diplomatic responses.

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said India halted Operation Sindoor on its 'own terms' and described Pakistan as the 'epicentre of terrorism'. The remarks reaffirm New Delhi's position on its military action and its accusations against Islamabad, drawing attention amid ongoing tensions between the two countries over cross-border militancy.
