"Unwavering courage of Armed Forces ensured terror networks were dismantled": Vice President Radhakrishnan on Op Sindoor anniversary

VP C P Radhakrishnan marks one year of Operation Sindoor, praising armed forces for dismantling terror networks and reiterating India's zero-tolerance policy.

"The unwavering courage and valour of our Armed Forces ensured that terror networks were effectively targeted and dismantled. - Vice President C P Radhakrishnan"

New Delhi, May 7

Vice President C P Radhakrishnan on Thursday said that Operation Sindoor marked a defining moment when India responded firmly to terror forces and terror-sponsoring states attempting to disturb the country's peace, unity and sovereignty.

Marking one year of the Operation Sindoor, the Vice President praised the courage and valour of the armed forces and reiterated India's commitment to combating terrorism.

In a post on X, the official account of the Vice President posted, "Today marks one year since Operation Sindoor, a defining moment when India responded firmly to terror forces and terror-sponsoring states attempting to disturb the peace, unity, and sovereignty of Bharat."

"The unwavering courage and valour of our Armed Forces ensured that terror networks were effectively targeted and dismantled. Their sacrifice and commitment remain a source of pride for every citizen," he added.

Referring to the terror attack in Pahalgam, the Vice President said India would continue to maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism.

"India will never forget the cowardly terror attack in Pahalgam and, with zero tolerance towards terrorism, remains steadfast in its resolve to combat terrorism and terror sponsorship in every form," 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.

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.

Finally, a government that doesn't just talk but acts. The Pahalgam attack broke our hearts, but the response showed we are not weak anymore. The Vice President is right – zero tolerance is the only way forward. My salute to the soldiers who made this possible. 🙏

While I support India's right to self-defense, I wonder about the long-term consequences. War is never clean, and civilian casualties in Pakistan worry me. We need a strategy that isolates terrorists without escalating into full-blown conflict. Diplomacy must complement military strength.

This is what decisive leadership looks like. For decades, we showed restraint while our soldiers were attacked. Operation Sindoor changed that narrative. The destruction of 9 launchpads and killing of 100+ terrorists is a testament to our military's capability. Bharat Mata ki Jai! ✊

I appreciate the VP's words, but let's not forget the economic cost of such operations. The drone attacks and shelling damaged infrastructure on both sides. We need to ensure that our response is precise and doesn't give Pakistan an excuse to escalate further. Victory is good, but sustainable peace is better.

The ceasefire on May 10 after four days of conflict shows that even Pakistan knew they were outmatched. Destroying their radar installations in Lahore was a masterstroke. This operation has set a precedent: India will not be a punching bag anymore. I hope our government continues this resolve against cross-border terrorism. 🚀
