New Delhi: Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev sent a clear message to the masterminds of terrorism about the consequences of playing with Indian citizens' lives.
While Operation Sindoor brought satisfaction among the people, Operation Mahadev transformed that satisfaction into confidence, he said while honouring the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police and Central Reserve Police Force personnel who successfully carried out Operation Mahadev in July and neutralised terrorists involved in the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack.
Under Operation Sindoor, the armed forces targeted terrorist hideouts and military installations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir from May 6-10 in response to the Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives.
"Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev have sent a clear message to the masterminds of terror about the consequences of playing with the lives of Indian citizens," Shah said.
The security forces have shown the world that no matter how many tactics or strategies terrorists may adopt, they can no longer hurt India and escape, he said.
The home minister said that at a time when tourism was at its peak in Kashmir, the Pahalgam attack was a failed attempt to derail the 'Kashmir Mission'.
Shah also said that alongside the army and paramilitary forces, the Jammu and Kashmir Police now plays a leading role in the fight against terrorism.
"Whether from the ruling party or the opposition, everyone felt joy and enthusiasm about operations Sindoor and Mahadev, and expressed gratitude towards the security forces," he said.
This trust in national security is the foundation for India's aspiration to achieve the highest position in the world in every field, he said.
Shah further said that the forensic lab of the National Investigation Agency proved that the terrorists killed during Operation Mahadev were those who had carried out the massacre in Pahalgam.
"On behalf of Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi and the entire nation, I congratulate the security forces for strengthening the sense of security in the hearts of Indian citizens," the home minister said.
