Tejashwi Yadav Backs Army, Stresses Unity
Later, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav also showed his support. He wrote: "India, Indians and Indian Army have never and will never tolerate any form of terrorism and separatism in our country."
He added: "We are people who believe in truth, non-violence and peace. We Indians never do wrong but if someone does wrong to us then we do not tolerate it. If people who foster terrorism attack our unity, integrity and sovereignty then we know how to unite and give a befitting reply. In this fight against terrorism, 140 crore Indians are with the Indian Army and the Government."
BJD MP Says India Has Kept Its Promise
Sasmit Patra, a Member of Parliament from Biju Janata Dal, said the strikes show that India stood by its word.
He stated: "Our brave armed forces have delivered a precise and powerful blow to terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This action comes in response to the barbaric terrorist attack in Pahalgam, in which 25 Indian citizens and one Nepali national lost their lives. As a nation, we made a solemn commitment: those responsible would be held accountable. Today, we are living up to that promise."
Owaisi Urges Complete Destruction of Terror Camps
Asaduddin Owaisi, leader of AIMIM, also welcomed the military action. He said: "...The Pakistani deep state must be taught a tough lesson so that another Pahalgam never happens again. Pakistan's terror infrastructure must be completely destroyed. Jai Hind!"
मैं हमारी रक्षा सेनाओं द्वारा पाकिस्तान में आतंकवादी ठिकानों पर किए गए लक्षित हमलों का स्वागत करता हूँ। पाकिस्तानी डीप स्टेट को ऐसी सख्त सीख दी जानी चाहिए कि फिर कभी दूसरा पहलगाम न हो। पाकिस्तान के आतंक ढांचे को पूरी तरह नष्ट कर देना चाहिए। जय हिन्द! #OperationSindoor
