New Delhi [India], May 9 : BJP leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain has expressed pride in the Indian Army's capabilities, particularly in the context of India-Pakistan tensions.
Hussain's comments highlight the Indian Army's efforts to counter Pakistan's nefarious activities, following air strikes conducted by the Armed forces on terror infrastructures in Pakistan and then thwarting drone strikes.
BJP leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain expressed his pride for the Army and said that as terrorists were being killed in Pakistan, their masters had started trembling.
Syed Shahnawaz Hussain said, "We are proud of our Army. The whole world is watching the might of our army and how we have attacked the nefarious activities of Pakistan. The whole country is united irrespective of their religion and caste. India has attacked them by entering their land and will continue to do so. Terrorists are being killed, and their masters are also trembling."
He noted that the world is watching the Indian Army's actions and its ability to counter Pakistan's nefarious activities. Hussain emphasised that India has taken decisive action against terrorists, including entering Pakistan's territory, and will continue to do so.
He further said that curbs have been imposed on platforms supporting Pakistan on social media, YouTube and OTT.
"Some people, even after staying in India, are creating hashtags such as Say No To War. Such people are staying in this country and posting against it. When the country has been attacked, a response would be given," he further added.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday conducted a review of the country's current security situation at South Block, which houses the Ministry of Defence, in the national capital, in the aftermath of the foiled large-scale drone strike by Pakistan on Thursday.
The military top brass and senior officials, including Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, and Defence Secretary RK Singh accompanied the Defence Minister.
The meeting came in the wake of Pakistan's attempted retaliation following Operation Sindoor, where the Indian Armed Forces targeted nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on Wednesday. The operation was a direct response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
Meanwhile, the Indian Army during the intervening night of May 8 and May 9 successfully repelled and responded to multiple drone attacks by Pakistan along the western border and the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Indian Army said, "Pakistan Armed Forces launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along the entire Western Border on the intervening night of 08 and 09 May 2025. Pak troops also resorted to numerous ceasefire violations (CFVs) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. The drone attacks were effectively repulsed, and a befitting reply was given to the CFVs. Indian Army remains committed to safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nation. All nefarious designs will be responded to with force."
The indigenously developed Akash surface-to-air missile air defence system has played a crucial role in thwarting Pakistani drone attacks targeting Indian assets on Thursday, according to defence officials. Officials added that both the Indian Army and Air Force have deployed the missile system along the Pakistan border.
"The Indian armed forces have effectively used the Made in India Akash surface-to-air missile air defence system in foiling Pakistani attacks towards Indian targets. Both the Indian Army and Air Force have the missile system along the Pakistan border," defence officials stated.
