New Delhi, May 16 : Terming “Operation Sindoor” as a reflection of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s firm political, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday praised the Indian Air Force (IAF) for its unmatched striking capability.
After inaugurating an upgraded multi agency centre in Delhi for intelligence sharing among various agencies, Shah said, “Operation Sindoor is a unique symbol of Prime Minister Modi’s firm political will, the precise intelligence of our agencies and the unmatched strike capability of our three armed forces.”
Pertinently, the multi agency centre, under the Intelligence Bureau, was created in the aftermath of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks with an aim to share timely inputs among various stakeholders involved in law enforcement.
Under “Operation Sindoor,” India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir early on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which left 26 civilians, mostly tourists dead.
India and Pakistan agreed on May 10 to stop military actions. India has, however, made it clear it has merely paused its operation and its future actions will be guided by Pakistan’s conduct—(KNO)
