He described the operation as a "powerful symbol of national resolve and preparedness," saying it reflected the armed forces' unmatched precision, seamless jointness and readiness to act decisively in safeguarding the nation.

In a post on X, the Defence Minister said, "On the anniversary of Operation Sindoor, we salute the valour and sacrifices of our armed forces, whose courage and dedication continue to safeguard the nation. Their actions during the operation reflected unmatched precision, seamless jointness and deep synergy across services, setting a benchmark for modern military operations."

"Operation Sindoor stands as a powerful symbol of national resolve and preparedness, showing that our armed forces are always ready to act decisively when it matters most. It also stands testament to India's steady advance towards achieving Atmanirbharta, enhancing capability while reinforcing resilience," the post read.

Operation Sindoor was launched in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, prompting a strong military response from India.

Indian armed forces struck terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).In Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, 2025, India successfully destroyed nine major terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), targeting Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizbul Mujahideen facilities. Indian armed forces killed over 100 terrorists in action.

Pakistan responded with drone attacks and shelling, which led to a four-day conflict between the two neighbouring countries. India showed formidable defence and conducted retaliatory strikes, destroying Radar installations in Lahore and Radar facilities near Gurjanwala.

Following significant damage, Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) reached out to the Indian DGMO, and a ceasefire was agreed on May 10, bringing an end to the hostilities.

The Pahalgam attack was heartbreaking—26 innocent lives lost. But the response was swift and decisive. I'm glad our leaders are keeping the memory alive, not just for politics but to honour our soldiers. My only hope is that we continue to strengthen diplomacy alongside our military might. 🙏

Rajnath ji's words about "Atmanirbharta" and "seamless jointness" hit the mark. This operation was a game-changer for our defence preparedness. Destroying radar installations in Lahore sent a clear message. India is no longer a soft target. Jai Hind! 🚀

While I appreciate the show of strength, I wish the article focused more on the long-term impact on civilians in border areas. The drone attacks and shelling must have caused fear and disruption for people living near the LoC. Let's not forget the human cost of such conflicts.

It's been a year already? Time flies when you're proud of your nation! 😄 Operation Sindoor was a textbook example of how to respond to state-sponsored terrorism. Killing 100+ terrorists and destroying 9 major launchpads—that's what you call accountability. Hats off to our armed forces!

The ceasefire after four days shows that even our adversaries know when to back down. But I hope we stay vigilant—these groups won't stop. The profile pic change is a nice touch by Jaishankar ji, but real remembrance is in strengthening our borders and intelligence. 🇮🇳
