Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 15 : Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that precise striking capability carried out by the Indian armed forces inside Pakistan territory completely destroyed terrorists hideouts during Operation Sindoor.
Amit Shah made these remarks at a UP Police recruitment ceremony where more than 60,244 Civil Police Constables received appointment letters.
"Through Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Modi sent a message to the world that the blood of Indians shall not be spilled, and anyone who dares to do so will face severe punishment. Precise striking capability of our brave soldiers has razed terrorist hideouts to the ground, marking the beginning of a strong new India," Amit Shah said.
Recalling the India's response following "nefarious" attacks in Uri, Pulwama, and Poonch, Amit Shah said, "Modi government responded to Uri attack with a surgical strike, to Pulwama attack with an airstrike, and to Poonch attack with Operation Sindoor, destroying the terrorists' headquarters."
Operation Sindoor, initiated on May 7, 2025, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians showcased a calibrated, tri-services response that embodied precision, professionalism, and purpose. Operation Sindoor was conceived as a punitive and targeted campaign to dismantle the terror infrastructure across the Line of Control and deeper inside Pakistan.
This multi-dimensional operation effectively neutralized terrorist threats, deterred Pakistani aggression, and firmly enforced India's zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism. The operation maintained strategic restraint while gaining international support.
