Ops Sindoor, Mahadev sent clear message to terror masterminds: Amit Shah

Honouring the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police and CRPF personnel, who successfully carried out Operation Mahadev, Shah said, “The security forces have shown the world that no matter how many tactics or strategies terrorists may adopt, they can no longer hurt India and escape. At a time when tourism was at its peak in Kashmir, the Pahalgam attack was a failed attempt to derail the ‘Kashmir Mission’.”

The Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in May, targeting terror hideouts and military installations in Pakistan and PoK in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed.

“Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev have sent a clear message to the masterminds of terror about the consequences of playing with the lives of Indian citizens,” he said.

“The forensic lab of the NIA has proved that the terrorists killed during Operation Mahadev were the same who carried out the massacre in Pahalgam. On behalf of PM (Narendra) Modi and the entire nation, I congratulate the security forces for strengthening the sense of security in the hearts of Indian citizens,” he said.

Along with the Army and paramilitary forces, Shah said that the J&K Police now play a leading role in the fight against terrorism. “Whether from the ruling party or the Opposition, everyone felt joy and enthusiasm about operations Sindoor and Mahadev, and expressed gratitude towards the security forces,” adding that this very trust in national security is the foundation for India’s aspiration to achieve the highest position in the world in every field.
