India's Defense Minister, Rajnath Singh, for the first time, has commented on 'Operation Sindoor,' an Indian Army initiative responding to the Pahalgam terrorist attack in Pakistan and its occupied Kashmir. Speaking on Wednesday during the inauguration of 50 BRO (Border Roads Organization) infrastructure projects across six states and two union territories, he asserted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Indian Army has elevated the country's prestige.

Defense Minister Singh remarked, 'As you all know, last night, our brave forces scripted a new chapter of heroism and strength. The Indian Army carried out this operation with precision, alertness, and sensitivity. We have met our objectives exactly as planned, ensuring that no civilian infrastructure was harmed. The operation exemplified military precision, vigilance, and humanity.'

Under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, our military launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, again striking the terrorist camps where militants were trained, delivering a decisive response. India's actions on its soil were a calculated assertion of our 'Right to Respond'. This meticulously planned action was solely aimed at degrading terrorist morale and their infrastructure. I salute the valiant spirit of our armed forces.
