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.

As someone who lives abroad, I've been amazed by India's growing military capability. Operation Sindoor was a clear message to those who sponsor terror. The way our forces neutralised over 100 terrorists and destroyed launchpads shows real preparedness. Rajnath Singh's pride is well-deserved.

Operation Sindoor was a watershed moment in India's military history. The seamless coordination between the Army, Navy, and Air Force sets a new benchmark.

The mention of Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) in defence is crucial. For too long, we depended on foreign equipment.

Our soldiers deserve the best tools. 🇮🇳
