New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday that Pakistan is scared after Operation Sindoor, in which India’s Armed forces destroyed nine selected terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK.
Hailing the success of Operation Sindoor, Shah commended the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for giving a befitting and strong response to Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam massacre on April 22, when terrorists shot dead of 26 innocent men.
“Since assuming power, PM Modi has given such a befitting reply to terrorist attacks that the world is amazed and Pakistan is scared. This time, under Operation Sindoor, the headquarters of the terror outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan were destroyed… We destroyed 9 such sites where terrorists used to be trained and were their hideouts… Our military’s response to terrorists was such that it destroyed camps 100 kilometres inside Pakistan,” Shah said at an event in Gandhinagar.
He warned terrorists that in case any terror activity harms the people of India in future, the response will be twice as severe as Operation Sindoor.
“Those who planned many international terrorist activities and were hidden in Sialkot and other terrorist camps, ‘un sab ko hamare bomb ke dhamakon ke gunj ne ek spasht sandesh bheja hai’ (the sound of our bombs have sent them a very clear message) – if any terrorist activity happens with the people of India, the response will be twice in strength,” he added.
Shah also highlighted the capability and effectiveness of the country’s air defence system.
“Pakistan dared to attack the entire Western border, but under the leadership of PM Modi, our Air Defence System has become so perfect that none of the missiles or drones reached India’s land. After killing more than 100 dreadful terrorists, Pakistan was still thinking, and we attacked their 15 air bases, but didn’t inflict any harm to their people… We destroyed their capability of air attack,” the Home minister added.
India’s ‘precision strikes’ under Operation Sindoor around 100 terrorists, including 10 family members of JeM chief Masood Azhar and four close aides.
