NEW DELHI: The armed forces' Operation Sindoor drew adulation from Opposition leaders across party lines as they sent out a message of unity and expressed resolve to stand with the government on national security.

The Congress, Left parties, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Trinamool Congress, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) hailed the action in unison while asserting their wholehearted support to any step to cull terror.

The Left, while pointing out the importance of maintaining the country's unity and integrity, called for stemming further escalation of the tension between the two neighbours and suggested pursuing diplomatic avenues for peace in the region.

India's armed forces destroyed nine terrorist infrastructures, including that of Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba, in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in a 25-minute-long missile and drone strike early on Wednesday.
