JAMMU, May 26: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday attributed the success of Operation Sindoor to India’s capabilities and innovations in the defence sector, adding that the military strike showcased the nation’s scientific might. Flagging off the Physics Bharat Yatra from Udhampur, Sinha highlighted that Operation Sindoor has demonstrated India’s scientific prowess. “It has shown that our scientists, defence personnel, and jawans are second to none in the world. This victory is a tribute to their dedication. It is also a vindication of our steadfast commitment to self-reliance.” Sinha maintained that India’s military might reflects the scientists’ resolve to comprehensively strengthen national security and drive the country’s economy on a growth trajectory.
“The success of Operation Sindoor reflects India’s indigenous defence capabilities, innovations in the defence sector, and technological advancements. Our scientists are unwavering and determined to make historic strides in new areas of science and technology,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The LG lauded the initiative being spearheaded by the Indian Association of Physics Teachers and the National Anveshika Network of India under the
that the perpetrators would be tracked from wherever they are hiding.
“Pakistan forgot that 11 years ago, there was a Congress government, which has now changed. We responded to the Uri, Pulwana and Pahalgham strikes and struck terror bases,” he said.
Referring to Operation Sindoor, Shah said that on May 7, nine terror camps were destroyed in 22 minutes, while India’s air defence system ensured that Pakistan’s missiles and drones did not touch the country’s soil.
On May 9, Pakistan’s air defence system was destroyed by Indian armed forces, he said.
“Modiji has declared that there would be retaliation if the blood of innocent Indian civilians is shed. If our women’s sindoor is harmed, the response will be bloodier,” he said, adding that Operation Sindoor proved the government’s commitment to protecting India’s borders.
Shah also reiterated that Naxalism would be wiped out from the country by March 31, 2026.
“When Operation Sindoor was underway, under Operation Black Forest by CRPF, Chhattisgarh police and BSF neutralised several Naxalites. Several Naxalites were also arrested and many surrendered,” he said.
The Union Home Minister said Modi had ended the Indus Water Treaty, which was signed by former PM Jawaharlal Nehru, and also all trade with Pakistan. “Modi has said trade and terror cannot go together,” he said.
Shah slammed the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), saying it had mocked the all-party delegations as “baraat” (wedding party).
“Had Balasaheb Thackeray been alive, he would have hugged Modi. But a Sena (UBT) leader called the delegations a baraat. I don’t know what has happened to the Uddhav Sena. They are calling the delegations a baraat even though their own members are a part of it,” he said.
Shah also criticised Sharad Pawar for doing “nothing” over the demand for classical language status to Marathi, which he said was fulfilled by Modi.
