President Murmu briefed on Operation Sindoor, lauds armed forces for counter-terror success
Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan, along with the three service chiefs — Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh, and Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi — called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Wednesday to brief her on ‘Operation Sindoor’.
As the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, the President was apprised of the details and outcomes of the operation, which was launched in response to the brutal killing of 26 people by terrorists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22.
“General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff, along with General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Army Staff, Air Chief Marshal A. P. Singh, Chief of the Air Staff, and Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff, called on President Droupadi Murmu and briefed her about Operation Sindoor. The President commended the valour and the dedication of the Armed Forces that made India’s response to terrorism a sterling success,” Rashtrapati Bhavan posted on X.
President Murmu lauded the courage and efforts of the armed forces and described the operation as a “matter of national pride.”
The President was given a comprehensive account of these developments during the briefing.
The strikes were conducted in response to the Pahalgam terror attack; however, in a quick response, the Indian government suspended the Indus Water Treaty signed in the year 1960 between both countries following the CCS (Cabinet Committee on Security) meeting a day after the attack.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing brave air warriors and soldiers at the Adampur Air Base on Tuesday, praised the Indian Armed Forces for their valour and precision during Operation Sindoor.
PM Modi said India paused military action only after Pakistan’s request and warned of strong retaliation if terrorism recurs. He praised the Armed Forces for their precision strikes, restraint, and coordination, calling it a reflection of India’s growing military and technological strength.
