PM Modi Meets Indian President After Operation Sindoor

Prior to this, he presided over a Cabinet meeting where he described the operation as a ‘moment of pride’.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with President Droupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, shortly after the Indian armed forces conducted precision strikes against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Reports indicate that Prime Minister Modi briefed President Murmu on the operation.

Prior to this, he presided over a Cabinet meeting where he described the operation as a ‘moment of pride’.

He assured the Cabinet that the operation was executed flawlessly, with ‘no mistakes whatsoever’, and that the retaliatory strike was ‘successfully completed’.

During the meeting, he commended the armed forces for their ‘commendable job’ and ‘immaculate execution’.

“The whole country was looking up to us. We are proud of our Army,” said PM Modi.

The Cabinet ministers collectively demonstrated their support for Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, applauding the government’s initiatives with enthusiastic table thumping. They also affirmed that the entire nation stands resolutely behind PM Modi and the military in the battle against terrorism, as reported by the news agency IANS.

The military operation targeting terror camps in Pakistan and PoK commenced at 1:05 AM on Wednesday, May 7, and lasted for 25 minutes, during which nine terror camps and training facilities were struck using stand-off munitions such as the HAMMER bomb and the SCALP missile, among others capable of hovering to confirm targets before detonation.

In retaliation, Pakistan engaged in ‘arbitrary and indiscriminate firing’ and artillery shelling across the Line of Control, resulting in the deaths of at least three civilians in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.

This operation, named Operation Sindoor, followed a tragic incident in which 26 civilians were killed in a brutal terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.

16 airports include Leh, Thois, Srinagar, Jammu, Amritsar, Pathankot, Chandigarh, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Jamnagar, Bhatinda, Bhuj, Dharamshala, Shimla, Rajkot, and Porbandar have been closed after the strikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.

Meanwhile, Defence Minister of Pakistan Khawaja Asif told, “This has been initiated by India. If India is ready to back down, they have taken the initiative, we have just responded. We have been saying this that we will never initiate anything hostile towards India. But if we are attacked, we will respond. If India backs down, we will definitely wrap up these things. But as long as we are under fire, we have to respond,” while speaking to a news channel.
