Operation Sindoor has been the most accurate response in the history to the terrorists and their operators.

This was stated by the Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday the 23rd of May 2025 in the National Capital while speaking at the annual Rustamji Memorial lecture during the BSF’s Investiture ceremony function.

The Home Minister said Operation Sindoor bespeaks volumes about the Prime Minister Modi’s firm political will, precise intelligence inputs from agencies and lethal capabilities of armed forces.

In a statement released by the Home Ministry, Amit Shah said  – “For decades, our country has faced Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, and over the years, Pakistan carried out multiple terrorist attacks, but they were never adequately responded to.”

He added , that “after Modi became Prime Minister in 2014, the first major terrorist attack on our soldiers took place in Uri. In response, we carried out a surgical strike for the first time, targeting terrorist hideouts and delivering a strong message. We hoped this would put an end to such acts, but terrorism persisted, leading to another attack on our soldiers in Pulwama. This time, the Indian forces launched a decisive airstrike, once again eliminating terrorist camps.”

He said that the situation deteriorated further in Pahalgam, where Pakistan-sponsored terrorists brutally killed innocent tourists in front of their wives and families after questioning their religion.

He said that at that time, Prime Minister Modi had declared that this terrorist attack would receive a fitting response, and Operation Sindoor was that appropriate response.

“Today, the entire world is praising the bravery and lethal capabilities of our armed forces,” he added.

It may be recalled that despite of ceasefire reached on 10th of May 2025, Operation Sindoor is still ‘on’ as armed forces are keeping a sharp vigil along the Line of Control (LOC) and the International Border with Pakistan.
