On the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the military operation reflected India’s firm response against terrorism and commitment to safeguarding national security.

India launched military strikes on nine targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7, 2025, in response to a terror attack on civilians in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025.

Taking it to X, PM Modi said, “A year ago, our armed forces displayed unparalleled courage, precision and resolve during Operation Sindoor. They gave a fitting response to those who dared to attack innocent Indians at Pahalgam. The entire nation salutes our forces for their valour.”

“It also highlighted the professionalism, preparedness and coordinated strength of our armed forces. At the same time, it showcased the growing jointness among our forces and underlined the strength that India’s quest for self-reliance in the defence sector has brought to our national security,” he added.

PM Modi said that India remains as steadfast as ever in its resolve to defeat terrorism and “destroy its enabling ecosystem”.
