Operation Sindoor: Amit Shah Says Pakistan Proved It Sponsors Terrorism

Union Home Minister Amit Shah heaped praise on the Indian armed forces for their decisive response to terrorism, particularly highlighting the success of Operation Sindoor. Speaking at the BSF Investiture ceremony on Friday, Shah credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong leadership and the intelligence agencies for the operation’s success.

Shah emphasized that Operation Sindoor was a culmination of the Prime Minister’s political will, accurate intelligence, and the army’s lethal capabilities. He stated, “Operation Sindoor is formed when all three come together,” as quoted by ANI.

Shah pointed to Pakistan’s long history of sponsoring terrorism, which he said had led to numerous attacks on India. He noted that in 2014, after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, India responded decisively to the Uri attack, conducting surgical strikes on terrorist hideouts. This, he said, demonstrated India’s commitment to avenging the lives lost due to terrorism.

The Home Minister further stated that Pakistan’s reaction to Operation Sindoor proved their sponsorship of terrorism. He explained, “We believed that we had attacked the terrorists but Pakistan proved that it sponsors terrorism. Pakistan, considering the attack on terrorists as an attack on itself. When the Pakistani army tried to attack our civilian bases and our military establishments, the Indian army gave a strong reply. It demonstrated their firepower by attacking their airbases.”

Shah praised the armed forces for successfully avenging the deaths of 26 civilians killed in the Pahalgam terror attack, highlighting how Operation Sindoor brought justice to the victims.

He concluded by stating, “In Pahalgam, innocent people were killed by ascertaining their religion in front of their families by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. Operation Sindoor is the answer to the attack and today the world is praising the bravery of the Indian Armed Forces.”
