In a bold and swift response to the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian Armed Forces executed a high-precision, tri-service strike codenamed ‘Operation Sindoor’. Conducted at midnight on Wednesday, the operation targeted 9 terror camps inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), eliminating over 70 terrorists, including 10 family members and 4 close aides of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar. The strikes were launched entirely from Indian soil, demonstrating deep coordination between the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Bollywood Unites in Support
As news of the successful operation broke, celebrities from the film and music industries expressed solidarity and admiration for the Indian Armed Forces:
- Rajkummar Rao told Hindustan Times, “We stand by our Armed Forces, we stand by our nation… What happened shouldn’t have happened (referring to the Pahalgam attack)… We are extremely proud.”
- Wamiqa Gabbi, echoing Rao’s sentiment, added, “We are with them… hum hi toh hain… For sure.”
- Kangana Ranaut, known for her outspoken support of national issues, wrote: “Jo hamaari raksha karte hain, Ishwar unki raksha kare. Wishing our forces safety and success. #OperationSindoor”
- Adnan Sami, singer and composer who became an Indian citizen in 2016, simply tweeted: “Jai Hind!! #OperationSindoor”
The Impact of the Operation
According to defense sources, the 25-minute strike was surgically planned, targeting key infrastructure and safe houses used by terrorist operatives. The operation is being seen as a firm message to terror groups and their handlers across the border following the loss of Indian lives in the Pahalgam attack.
With public sentiment riding high, and support pouring in from citizens and celebrities alike, Operation Sindoor marks one of the most significant retaliatory strikes in recent years, reaffirming India’s zero-tolerance approach toward terrorism.
