India launched Operation Sindoor in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. India's precision strikes in Pakistan and PoJK on May 7 killed over 100 terrorists.

Following Pakistan's subsequent aggression, a decision was taken for a swift, coordinated, calibrated counter-attack and IAF struck Pakistan's air bases, command centres, military infrastructure, air defence systems across the entire Western Front.

India had carried out surgical strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir in 2016 and an aerial strike on a terrorist camp in Pakistan in 2019 in response to ghastly terror attacks.

Meanwhile, Amit Shah inaugurated a new Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) in the national capital on Friday. The centre is a step to connect all the intelligence, security, law enforcement and investigative agencies with qualitative and quantitative transformation.

After the inauguration of the centre, Shah held a meeting with the heads of multiple security and intelligence agencies. As India's foremost intelligence fusion centre, MAC has been in existence since 2001, and the Home Minister has been actively guiding the technological upgradation of MAC continuously.

Shah said that the new MAC will provide a seamless and integrated platform for synergising the efforts of all the agencies in addressing the complex and interconnected national security challenges being faced in today's environment.

The Union Home Minister lauded the new MAC network and expressed satisfaction at the successful completion of hardware and software-related tasks in record time. He said that it incorporates futuristic capabilities such as embedded Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to harness the potential of the vast database with MAC and Geographic Information System (GIS) services.

Proud of our armed forces! 🇮🇳 Operation Sindoor shows we won't tolerate terrorism anymore. Strong response was needed after Pahalgam attack. Hope Pakistan gets the message loud and clear this time.

While I appreciate our forces' bravery, shouldn't we also focus on long-term solutions? Military action is necessary but we need better intelligence coordination to prevent attacks in the first place. The new MAC center seems promising in this regard.

Jai Hind! Our forces have shown tremendous courage. But media should stop glorifying operations with fancy names - let's respect the seriousness of these actions. Lives are at stake on both sides.

The timing of this operation announcement right before elections makes me skeptical. National security shouldn't be politicized. That said, kudos to our jawans who risk their lives daily at the border. 🙏

After 26 innocent lives lost in Pahalgam, this strong response was justified. But let's not forget the families affected on both sides. Hope this deters future attacks so our border villages can live in peace.

The AI integration in MAC is a game-changer! Terrorists use technology, so must we. But we must ensure data privacy isn't compromised in this surveillance push. Balance is key.
