Leaders Welcome 'Operation Sindhoor' Strikes on Pakistan Terror Bases

In response to reports that Indian defence forces carried out targeted strikes on terrorist bases in Pakistan, several political leaders across the country expressed their approval and appreciation. Leaders from both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh praised the operation, describing it as a demonstration of India’s strength. Many also viewed the strikes as a fitting retaliation for the recent terror attack in Pahalgam.

All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi welcomed the strikes through a post on the social media platform ‘X’. “I welcome the targeted strikes by our defence forces on the secret terror bases in Pakistan. A strong lesson must be taught to Pakistan to prevent another incident like Pahalgam. Pakistan’s terrorist infrastructure must be destroyed,” said Asaduddin Owaisi. He concluded his post with the slogan “Jai Hind”.

G. Kishan Reddy, Union Minister for Coal and Mines and Telangana BJP president, praised the operation ‘Sindhoor’ and voiced his support with the slogans “Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Har Har Mahadev, Jai Hind”. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar also welcomed the strikes on Pakistan. “‘Operation Sindhoor’ – precise, unforgiving, and unrelenting. When India strikes, it does so swiftly and decisively. Our forces hit exactly where it hurt. This is revenge for the martyrs of Pahalgam. Those who challenge India must pay the price. I am proud of our brave soldiers! Mera Bharat Mahan, Jai Hind!” Bandi Sanjay stated in his post.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu commended ‘Operation Sindhoor’ through a post on ‘X’, simply stating “Jai Hind”. K. Ram Mohan Naidu, Union Minister for Civil Aviation, also responded, declaring, “No tolerance for terrorism. Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.

Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and president of the YSR Congress Party, also praised ‘Operation Sindhoor’ for targeting terrorist bases in Pakistan. “In response to the heinous Pahalgam terror attack, India’s defence forces launched ‘Operation Sindhoor’. Such decisive actions reflect the unyielding strength of our nation in protecting its sovereignty and citizens. We all stand with you. Jai Hind,” said Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in his message.

R. S. Praveen Kumar, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and former IPS officer, also responded, stating, “Heartfelt congratulations to the Indian defence forces for destroying terrorist bases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir early this morning. Nation first, everything else later. Jai Hind.”

Numerous analysts observed that leaders from diverse political parties expressing solidarity over the operation is a reflection of national unity.
