“Operation Sindoor stands as a testament to the strength and valour of India’s Nari Shakti,” the Prime Minister said while addressing the Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Mahasammelan here, an official statement said.

“India is a land of deep-rooted culture and traditions, where sindoor symbolises feminine strength,” emphasised Modi, mentioning that "even Lord Hanuman, immersed in devotion of Lord Ram, adorned himself with Sindoor, and it is offered in Shakti puja rituals. Sindoor has now become a symbol of India's valour.”

Referring to the attack in Pahalgam, PM Modi said that the terrorists not only shed the blood of Indians but also struck at the nation’s cultural ethos and attempted to divide society. Most significantly, they challenged India's Nari Shakti and this challenge proved fatal for the terrorists and their handlers.

“Operation Sindoor is India's largest and most successful counter-terrorism operation in history,” the PM emphasised, highlighting that Indian armed forces dismantled terrorist bases at locations where Pakistan's forces had never anticipated action.

He remarked that Operation Sindoor has sent a clear message that proxy wars through terrorism will not be tolerated.
