Modi praised the unparalleled courage, precision, and determination displayed by the Indian Armed Forces during Operation Sindoor. He noted that the security forces effectively retaliated against those who dared to attack innocent Indians in Pahalgam, earning the respect and admiration of the entire nation for their bravery.

In a post on social media platform 'X', he stated, 'Operation Sindoor exemplifies India's resolute response to terrorism and our unwavering commitment to national security. It showcases the professionalism, preparedness, and coordinated strength of our armed forces.'

Furthermore, Modi pointed out that this operation highlighted the growing unity among Indian security forces and underscored the enhancements in national security achieved through efforts towards self-reliance in the defense sector.

Operation Sindoor was conducted by all three branches of the armed forces in collaboration with the Border Security Force (BSF) from May 7 to May 10, 2025, targeting terrorist and military bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This operation was a direct response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, which resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals, primarily tourists.
