"I would also like to highly praise the performance of BSF personnel during Operation Sindoor. Everywhere BSF took charge, they stood firm--not just stood firm, BSF also made a huge contribution in maintaining the morale of the citizens of border districts, and wherever needed, BSF personnel also gave a befitting reply to Pakistan, which has always been your tradition," said Shah.
Highlighting the significance ofSanchu post -border, he added, "This post is inscribed in the history of Indian wars with golden letters. Today, I am also standing on the same ground and talking to you. This is a matter of great joy for me."
Operation Sindoor were carried out to avenge the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and to eliminate Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks in India.

The operation was jointly carried out by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, with the mobilisation of assets and troops.

Great to see the Home Minister acknowledging the BSF's bravery. However, I hope the government also focuses on better infrastructure and welfare for these soldiers who guard our borders in extreme conditions. Actions speak louder than words.
Respect to all the jawans! Operation Sindoor was a masterstroke—hitting terror camps in Pakistan and PoJK was long overdue. But abhi aur bhi kuch karna hoga, kyuki terrorism ki jad khatam nahi hui hai. Stay vigilant, India! 🙏
Proud moment for India! But I wonder about the long-term strategy. Striking camps is one thing, but we need a diplomatic push to ensure Pakistan stops sponsoring terror. Otherwise, it's a never-ending cycle. Kudos to the BSF for their courage though! ✨
Amit Shah ji ka statement dil ko chhoo gaya. Main khud Rajasthan ke border area se hoon, aur wahan ke log BSF ko apna bhai samajhte hain. Operation Sindoor ne humein ek naya confidence diya hai ki India kisi bhi threat ka munh tod jawab de sakta hai. 🇮🇳🔥
The BSF's role in maintaining border security is commendable, but I hope this doesn't escalate into a full-scale conflict. Both nations have nuclear weapons, so a measured approach is crucial. Still, respect for the soldiers who put their lives on the line every day.
