New Delhi, May 8:
In a major counter-terror move, Indian security forces have killed over 100 terrorists in Operation Sindoor. The mission was launched along the Line of Control and in Jammu and Kashmir. Officials say it is one of the most successful anti-terror actions in recent years.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh briefed leaders from all parties in a high-level meeting today. He praised the armed forces for their courage and coordination.

“India will not tolerate threats to its sovereignty or citizens,” Singh declared.

Rare Political Unity

In a rare show of unity, opposition leaders praised the security forces. They pledged full support to the government on national security.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, NCP’s Sharad Pawar, TMC’s Derek O’Brien, and others attended the briefing.

“On national security, there is no opposition or ruling party. We stand together,” said Kharge.

This joint front comes despite rising political tensions before key elections. Experts say this unity highlights a strong national stance against terrorism.

How Operation Sindoor Unfolded

Though full details remain classified, defence sources shared key insights. Forces used real-time intelligence and drone surveillance. Ground troops and paramilitary units acted on multiple terror targets.

They struck terror camps and stopped several infiltration attempts. Officials said the mission prevented future attacks inside Indian territory.

Strategic and Diplomatic Impact

Pakistan has not issued a formal response yet. However, analysts expect a reaction soon in diplomatic circles. India maintains that the mission targeted only terror groups, not state forces.

This operation may strengthen India’s case in global forums like the UN. India continues to push for strong action against cross-border terrorism.

Voices from Soldiers and Families

The nation saluted its brave soldiers. Veterans and martyr families welcomed the operation. Many expressed relief and pride at the army’s success.

“We salute our heroes. This victory is emotional for those who lost loved ones to terror,” said Major (Retd) Sandeep Malik.

The Road Ahead

The government plans to stay firm on terrorism. Rajnath Singh urged political leaders to remain united and avoid turning national security into a political issue.

He said the forces will act wherever needed to protect the country.
