Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], November 1 (ANI): Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar condemned the recent remarks made by Telangana CM Revanth Reddy over India's reply to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.

Bandi Sanjay asserted that CM Revanth Reddy insulted the armed forces by stating at a public rally that 'Pakistan kicked us, and India didn't retaliate' during Operation Sindoor.

In a post on X, Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar wrote,' Strongly condemn Telangana CM Revanth Reddy's below-the-belt remark on India. He stooped so low, using derogatory language to say that Pakistan kicked us, and India didn't retaliate. It's an insult to the armed forces who courageously destroyed terror camps in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. In India, every street echoes with pride for our soldiers' courage.'

'Across the world, Operation Sindoor is being hailed - a symbol of Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji's decisive strike against terrorism. Chief Minister must unconditionally apologise to the people of India - and to the brave soldiers who risked their lives for our nation,' he said.

Operation Sindoor was launched in May 2025 after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which took the lives of 26 innocent civilians. The Indian Armed Forces carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).

The operation unfolded across land, air, and sea--a seamless demonstration of synergy between the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy. The Indian Air Force (IAF) played a crucial role in delivering precision strikes against terror infrastructure across Pakistan. It conducted high-impact air operations on targets such as the Nur Khan Air Base and the Rahimyar Khan Air Base, with visual evidence of damage presented during official briefings. The Air Force's robust air defence environment proved pivotal in protecting Indian airspace during retaliatory drone and UAV attacks from across the border. (ANI)
