Uttarakhand CM Dhami hails Operation Sindoor, says indigenous weapons better than foreign-made

Uttarakhand CM highlights India's self-reliance in defense, lauds Modi's leadership and indigenous weapon capabilities

"Today, our army does not have to seek anyone's permission to respond to the enemy - Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, June 6

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday praised Operation Sindoor and said that India's indigenously developed weapons are "much better" than those manufactured by other countries.

"Today, our army does not have to seek anyone's permission to respond to the enemy. Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, India is becoming self-reliant in the defence sector. Through Operation Sindoor, India has proved that its indigenously manufactured weapons are much better than those of other countries," the Chief Minister said.

"Today, our army does not have to take anyone's permission to respond to the enemy. Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, India is becoming self-reliant in the defence sector. Through Operation Sindoor, India has proved that its indigenously manufactured weapons are much better than those of other countries," CM Dhami said while speaking at Shaurya Mahotsav in Chamoli.

Criticising previous administrations, Dhami said, "Earlier governments did not have the willpower and the ability to make decisions," adding, "due to which the hands of our brave soldiers were tied. But today's new India kills the enemies by entering their homes."

"Earlier, the brave soldiers guarding our borders in extreme cold didn't get proper food, clothing, or equipment. But ever since Shri Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, the facilities provided to our army have improved," he said.

Calling Uttarakhand "the land of heroes," Dhami paid tribute to the region's legacy of service to the nation.

"The brave soldiers here have worked to increase the pride of Mother India. Today, under the leadership of the respected Prime Minister, work is being done to increase the army's morale," he said.

The Chief Minister attended the three-day Shaurya Mahotsav held in Chamoli to honour Ashok Chakra awardee Shaheed Bhawani Dutt Joshi.

The event drew large crowds of locals and dignitaries, including ministers, MLAs, party officials, and family members of the soldier killed in action.

Dhami offered floral tributes at the memorial of Shaheed Bhawani Dutt Joshi. The event also showcased the region's cultural and patriotic spirit. A ceremonial lamp-lighting ritual was held in honour of Agni Dev, seeking blessings for the successful conduct of the festival.

While I appreciate the push for indigenous weapons, we must ensure quality isn't compromised in the name of self-reliance. Our jawans deserve the best equipment, whether Indian or foreign. Balanced approach needed.

Good to hear about improved facilities for soldiers, but we must do more! Our armed forces protect us 24/7 - they deserve world-class housing, healthcare and education for their families too.

The real tribute would be to ensure no more soldiers die due to inadequate gear. Make in India is great, but let's not become overconfident - China's military tech is still ahead of ours.

Shaurya Mahotsav is such a beautiful way to honor our heroes! ❤️ More states should organize such events to connect civilians with the sacrifices of our armed forces. Respect from Mumbai!
