Speaking to ANI,Rajbhar thanked the Army for fulfilling national promises and criticised opposition parties, highlighting that the Army's decisive action was a strong response to their mockery.

Meanwhile, BJP MP Jagdambika Pal has praised the Indian Army's Operation Sindoor, calling it a powerful act of revenge for the Pahalgam terror attack.

'Our army's revenge for Pahalgam was such that nine terrorist hideouts were destroyed at once. PM Narendra Modi had promised that to destroy the 'sindoor' of our sisters in Pahalgam.'

Pal linked the operation to India's broader fight against terrorism, citing past attacks such as 26/11, Uri, Pulwama, and the 2001 Parliament attack.

'We will teach not only the terrorists but also their masters such a lesson that they will remember it forever... This is a revenge for the attacks of 26/11, Uri, Pulwama and the 2001 Parliament as well,' he added.

Earlier today, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri along with Col Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh briefed the media about the Operation Sindoor.

'The attack in Pahalgam was marked with extreme barbarity, with the victims mostly killed with head shots at close range and in front of their family...the family members were deliberately traumatised through the manner of killing, accompanied by the exhortation that they should take back the message. The attack was clearly driven by the objective of undermining normalcy returning to Kashmir,' he said.

Wing Commander Vyomika Singh who briefed the media along with Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Col Sofiya Qureshi said that the 'Operation Sindoor' was launched to deliver justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and their families.
