The Indian Armed Forces, in a retaliatory move, carried out multiple missile strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to the terror groups in Pahalgam last month. The strikes were conducted under the Indian government’s Operation Sindoor, weeks after 26 civilians were killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. As soon as details about the operation came out, reactions have been arriving from across the country.
Joining the bandwagon, industrialist Anand Mahindra took to X and showed his support for the mission. “Our prayers are with our forces… One nation…Together we Stand,” he tweeted while resharing the Indian Army’s graphic of Operation Sindoor.
The particular visual in question features the words ‘Operation Sindoor’ on a black background, along with a small container filled with sindoor (red vermilion)—something signifying the loss of lives in the Pahalgam terror attack. Social media users took to Mahindra’s comment section and echoed similar sentiments while also sharing other thoughts. A user wrote, “We stand with India,” while another added, “Thanks for the constant support to the Army sir. You always speak for them irrespective of anything.”
“Our Forces Are Great Enough To Be Precise Enough! The Way They Have Defended, They Are Able To Defend Too!” another comment read.
Operation Sindoor: What Happened?
In response to the Pahalgam terror attack, a major counter-terrorism move, namely Operation Sindoor, was launched by the Indian Armed Forces on May 7, a little after midnight. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, explained that “India exercised its right to respond and pre-empt as well as deter more such cross-border attacks. These actions were measured, non-escalatory, proportionate, and responsible. They focused on dismantling the terrorist infrastructure and disabling terrorists likely to be sent across to India.”
From celebrities to world leaders, strong reactions have been coming in in support of the mission.
