New Delhi: Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for aptly naming India’s surgical strike on terror camps in Pakistan as Operation Sindoor, Himanshi Narwal, wife of Navy officer Vinay Narwal who was killed in the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, hailed the operation. According to reports, she said it signifies her husband’s spirit that India would not tolerate terrorism and hatred.
Himanshi Narwal, whose photo sitting next to her husband’s body at Pahalgam, had gone viral on the internet. She became a symbol of the tragedy.
“I am thankful to the government. I also request them to end it here. Make sure that this is just the start of the end of terrorism in this country. Make sure no one ever has to go through what I am enduring right now,” she told the PTI.
She also told the news agency that her late husband, Vinay, joined the armed forces to protect the country’s peace. “He wanted to make sure that innocent lives are not lost. He wanted to make sure there was no hatred and terror,” she added.
Vinay Narwal’s father Rajesh Narwal also reacted to Operation Sindoor stating that such a response was necessary. He said terrorists would think “100 times” before acting again.
“I had said that such a thing (retaliatory strikes) has to be done so that no one dares to do such a cowardly act again…the strikes carried out on the terror targets will resonate in their minds forever,” he said, as quoted by Hindustan Times.
