Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], May 7 (ANI): West Bengal Leader of the Opposition and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday lauded the India Armed Forces on successful execution of Operation Sindoor, which targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), saying that it it is a “joyous day” for the country.
Speaking to ANI, Adhikari said, “It it is a very joyous day. Our ‘veer jawans’ have done a good job of taking revenge. The full credit for this goes to the Indian army and our PM Narendra Modi. Yesterday, the TMC raised 14 questions on PM Narendra Modi, but today, they have said nothing.”
The Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of Wednesday, targeting terrorist infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoK). This operation was a retaliatory response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, including one Nepali national.
