Operation Sindoor Successful: Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge Praise Armed Forces

Operation Sindoor, launched by the Indian Armed Forces targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), has been declared a success. The operation was carried out with high precision, and has drawn commendation from senior Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, who lauded the bravery and discipline of the Indian forces.

Rahul Gandhi congratulated the Indian Army on the success of Operation Sindoor. In a post on X, he stated, “Proud of our armed forces. Jai Hind!”

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also expressed appreciation for the Indian Armed Forces. In his remarks on X, he stated, “India has a strong national policy against all forms of terrorism emanating from Pakistan and PoK. We are proud of our armed forces for striking at the terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoK. We salute their determination and courage.”

Mallikarjun Kharge emphasized that since the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the Indian National Congress has supported the armed forces and the government in taking strict action against cross-border terrorism. “At this time, national unity and solidarity are crucial. The Indian National Congress stands with our armed forces. Our leaders have shown the way in the past. National interests are our highest priority,” Kharge asserted.

According to officials, the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of Wednesday. They described it as a planned, restrained, and firm military response. The Government of India confirmed that nine high-value terrorist targets associated with groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba were successfully neutralized. The government clarified that the operation did not cause any harm to civilians or damage to Pakistan’s military infrastructure.

The action was undertaken in response to the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, including one Nepali national. India undertook this operation with a focus on accountability and restraint, aiming to prevent escalation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior officials closely monitored the operation’s progress throughout the night.
