Lieutenant Vinay Narwal's father, Rajesh Narwal, praised and congratulated the Indian Armed Forces for their Operation Mahadev. Rajesh's son was serving as an officer in the Indian Navy and was among 26 poeple, who were brutally murdered during the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
"I am thankful to our armed forces, paramilitary forces, and J&K Police. I salute their courage and valour. There is a Mahadev peak. The terrorists were hidden there. It was not easy to search for them and neutralise them. The forces must be honoured for this", said Vinay Narwal's father in conversation with the media.

The family of the other deceased (Bharath Bushan) in the Pahalgam terror attack found solace after hearing the news of 'Operation Mahadev'. Bushan's father, Chennaveerappa, speaking to the media, stated that the killing of his son in the terror attack was a "very barbarous act", adding that the families who lost their sons have found some comfort in the terrorists' deaths.
"Hereafter, I think the government should ensure that no terrorists enter our land and kill innocent people... This should not happen again and the government should make sure that military personnel are posted in such areas..."
"The government should be alert and avoid cross border terrorism...End terrorism and they have to see that Pakistan learns a lesson in this regard. Of course Modi has done a good work. He killed terrorists... he informed the whole world that we are against terrorism."
"We are not going to get my brother back but I am very sure that the government and the armed forces have eliminated such evil people who would cause such kind of trauma for many other families so from that perspective, we are very happy that such kind of people who did brutal killing of innocent tourists have been eliminated," cited Bushan's brother.
