'Those who threaten India's peace can never escape our forces' reach': MoS External Affairs on Op Sindoor anniversary

MoS Pabitra Margherita lauds armed forces on Operation Sindoor anniversary, says those threatening India's peace can't escape our forces' reach.

"Those who threaten India's peace and security can never escape the reach of our forces - Pabitra Margherita"

New Delhi, May 7

As India marks one year of Operation Sindoor, Minister of State for External Affairs, Pabitra Margherita, on Thursday lauded the valour of the armed forces and highlighted how the world witnessed that those who threaten India's peace and security can never escape the reach of our forces.

In a post on X, he called Operation Sindoor a defining chapter in India's fight against terror, showcasing the unmatched precision, courage and decisive strength of our Armed Forces.

"This historic operation reflected the seamless coordination between our intelligence agencies, strategic leadership and military forces, as India struck terror infrastructure across the border with unwavering resolve in response to the heinous Pahalgam attack. The world has witnessed that those who threaten India's peace and security can never escape the reach of our forces", he said.

MoS Margherita further said, "I salute the extraordinary valour and dedication of our Armed Forces. I also urge everyone to update their display pictures across social media with the image shared below, as a tribute to our brave soldiers and in honour of #OperationSindoor."

Operation Sindoor, initiated on May 7, 2025, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians, showcased a calibrated, tri-services response that embodied precision, professionalism, and purpose.

Operation Sindoor was conceived as a punitive and targeted campaign to dismantle the terror infrastructure across the Line of Control and deeper inside Pakistan.

Multi-agency intelligence provided confirmation of nine major camps that were eventually targeted in the operation. India's retaliatory action was based on meticulous planning and an intelligence-led approach, which ensured that the operations were conducted with minimal collateral damage. Operational ethics were central to the mission, and restraint was exercised to avoid civilian harm.

In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, Pakistan initiated a series of retaliatory drone and UCAV attacks targeting key Indian airbases and logistics infrastructure. These attempts, however, were effectively neutralised by India's comprehensive and multilayered air defence architecture. Central to this success was the Integrated Command and Control Strategy (ICCS), which facilitated real-time threat identification, assessment, and interception across multiple domains.

In every single domain of Operation Sindoor, there was operational synergy between the forces and fully supported by the Government, agencies and departments.

The operation unfolded across land, air, and sea--a seamless demonstration of synergy between the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy.

Finally, a government that takes decisive action. For too long, we saw attacks and did little. But this operation was different—intelligence-led, precise, and with minimal collateral damage. Our soldiers are heroes! 🙏

As an observer from abroad, India's response seems measured but firm. The focus on intelligence and minimal civilian harm is commendable. However, I wonder about the long-term impact on regional stability. But for now, respect to the Indian forces.

I'm proud of our military's professionalism. The integrated command and control strategy proved effective against drone attacks. But we must also focus on diplomatic efforts to prevent future attacks. Peace and security go hand in hand. 🕊️

Operation Sindoor was a strong message—no one can harm India and get away. The tri-services coordination is impressive. But I hope the government also addresses root causes like poverty and radicalization within our borders. Salute to our soldiers! 💪🇮🇳

Interesting read. India's response shows its growing military capability. I'm curious about the international reaction—did allies support this? The article mentions minimal collateral damage, which is crucial for legitimacy. Let's hope for lasting peace.
