Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday praised the unity and integrity of people and their relentless support to the Indian Armed forces and the country during the Operation Sindoor.
Speaking to mediapersons after flagging off the ‘Tiranga Shaurya Samman Yatra’ in Dehradun, CM Dhami commended the decisive response by Indian forces under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"With valour, courage and precise strategy, the Indian armed forces, under PM Narendra Modi's leadership, led a decisive counter-offensive and destroyed nine terrorist bases nurtured by Pakistan, forcing the Pakistan army to fall to its knees... The people of India have demonstrated unity and integrity by standing with our Army and country."
The BJP launched the nationwide Tiranga Yatra on Tuesday, aiming to honour the valour of Indian soldiers and inform citizens about the success of Operation Sindoor. The campaign will run until May 23.
Addressing a public gathering after taking part in the 'Tiranga Samman Shaurya Yaatra', CM Dhami said through Operation Sindoor, the Indian Armed forces had delivered a strong message to the terrorists and their masters about the consequences of targeting innocent Indian families.
CM Dhami saluted the Indian Armed forces for their bravery and courage following the success of Operation Sindoor. He also credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, which made the action against "terrorism" successful.
“I salute the valour, courage, and bravery of our Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, BSF, and the jawans of their security forces for Operation Sindoor's unprecedented success. I also thank PM Narendra Modi for his strong leadership and policies, which made this action against terrorism successful", CM Dhami further added.
Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in which 26 people were brutally killed. Indian forces targeted terror infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, reportedly killing over 100 militants linked to groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
In retaliation, Pakistan carried out cross-border shelling and attempted drone strikes across the Line of Control and border regions. In response, India launched coordinated strikes, damaging radar systems, communication hubs, and airfields at 11 Pakistani military bases.
On May 10, a mutual understanding for the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan was announced.
