The Union Minister stated that before Shri Narendra Modi became Prime Minister of India in 2014, India endured repeated Pakistan-sponsored terror attacks, claiming countless lives, with no firm retaliation. But under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India has struck back with power and precision. From Uri and Pulwama to Pahalgam, the Indian Armed Forces have responded with surgical strikes, air strikes, and now, Operation Sindoor. In a stunning blow, Operation Sindoor wiped out nine terror camps and command centres of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, leaving global defence experts astonished and India’s security stance stronger than ever.
