Targeting the ‘Sindoor’ of Indian daughters has consequences: Uttarakhand CM Dhami
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday lauded the Indian Armed Forces for the success of Operation Sindoor, stating that the operation sent a strong message to terrorists and their handlers about the consequences of targeting innocent Indian families.
“Through Operation Sindoor, our Armed Forces, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have shown the world the consequences of eyeing the ‘sindoor’—the symbol of dignity and pride—of Indian daughters,” said CM Dhami while addressing a gathering during the Tiranga Samman Shaurya Yatra.
He saluted the courage and determination of the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, BSF, and all security personnel involved in the operation. “I pay my respects to the unmatched bravery of our forces. I also express my gratitude to PM Modi, whose decisive leadership made this successful counter-terror operation possible.”
Speaking about the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, CM Dhami said the motive behind the attack was to provoke communal unrest. “The terrorists wanted to spark riots in the country, but their plan failed. Instead, the entire nation stood united in demanding firm action against terrorism.”
Dhami emphasized that Operation Sindoor demonstrated India’s zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism. “Our Armed Forces dismantled every terrorist hideout deep within Pakistani territory and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). Even the Pakistani army, which had been shielding these terrorists, was forced to retreat. Pakistan now knows that any hostile intent toward India will meet with a crushing response.”
Operation Sindoor was carried out in the early hours of May 7, in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack. Indian forces struck nine terror hideouts in deep areas of Pakistan and PoJK, marking a significant escalation in India’s counter-terror response.
The BJP’s Tiranga Yatra, launched nationwide on Tuesday, aims to honour the valour of India’s soldiers and raise awareness among citizens about the success of Operation Sindoor.
