I feel proud as an Indian: Pahalgam victim's daughter on Operation Sindoor

Arathi R Menon, daughter of N Ramachandran who was killed by terrorists in Pahalgam on April 22, expressed pride in India's Operation Sindoor, calling it a fitting response to terror camps in Pakistan and PoK. Speaking from Kochi, she said the strike brought relief and a sense of justice, though no action could ever compensate for her loss. Arathi, who was with her parents and twin sons during the attack, praised the Indian armed forces for their courage and precision. She said the name 'Operation Sindoor' was apt, as terrorists had taken the sindoor from many women, including her mother.
