Jai Hind, Bharat Mata Ki Jai: Ministers Applaud Military Action Against Terror Bases
New Delhi:
Messages of “Jai Hind” and “Bharat Mata ki Jai” flooded social media platform X as Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Piyush Goyal and others applauded the “Operation Sindoor”– focussed strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir were announced. The strikes on nine locations were a retaliation to the massacre in Kashmir’s Pahalgam in which 26 people died.
Announcing the “Operation Sindoor”, the army, in a post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, said “Justice is served”.
“Focused strikes were carried out on nine #terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, targeting the roots of cross-border terror planning,” read the statement, giving some details of the joint operation of the army and the Air Force.
Union defence minister was among the first to post “Bharat Mata ki Jai” moments after the statements from the army and the government were released.
भारत माता की जय!

Following the April 22 Pahalgam attack , Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a free hand to the armed forces regarding retaliation. A series of diplomatic measures were initiated against Pakistan.
Over the last days, PM Modi has been having regular meetings with officials of the defence and home ministry and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, raising speculation about military action to a fever pitch. The Opposition is backing the government after an all-party meeting.
