Several opposition leaders have praised the Indian Army for their precision strikes that destroyed nine terror camps based in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir as India successfully launched Operation Sindoor in the wee hours of Wednesday (May 7). This is India's fitting response to the barbaric terrorist attack that killed 26 tourists, including one Nepali citizen, in Pahalgam last month.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi was among the first to react to the strikes on X as she wrote, "They asked religion. Now suffer your karma, Indian Army." Aditya Thackeray, another Shiv Sena leader also praised the action from the Indian Army and stressed that the terrorism should be eliminated to the fullest.
"Terrorism in all its forms has to be eliminated. Tonight’s precision strikes in PoK are against terrorism, and kudos to the Indian defence forces for keeping it precise to sites where terrorism was being harboured. Hit them, hard enough that terrorism doesn’t stand a chance ever again. Jai Hind!" he wrote on X.
Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav also posted multiple tweets stating that he is proud of the Indian Army. "Hail India! There should be neither terror nor separatism! We are proud of our brave soldiers and the Indian Army," he wrote.
"Every Indian has full faith in the Indian Army, which protects India's sovereignty by taking bullets to its chest. Today, proving that same faith, the Indian Air Force avenged the terrorist attack in Pahalgam by carrying out successful air strikes on nine terrorist locations at around 1:30 am. In this operation, nine terrorist targets were targeted in a precise and planned manner without harming any Pakistani civilian or Pakistani military positions.
"The entire country is proud of this heroic feat of the Indian Army. Heartfelt congratulations to all the Indian soldiers who maintained India's sovereignty and the security of its citizens and gave a befitting reply to the Pahalgam attack!" Sharad Pawar wrote on X.
Earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh reacted after India successfully launched Operation Sindoor, writing, "Bharat Mata ki Jai," on X. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also lauded the Indian Army's operation as he wrote, "Jai Hind! Jai Hind Ki Sena!"
