Vice President Discusses Terrorism and Military Operations
On Saturday, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar drew comparisons between Operation Sindoor and the U.S. military's operation that led to the death of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. He referred to the attacks on nine terrorist bases as India's most significant cross-border operation, recalling the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001.
