Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 7 (ANI): Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Wednesday praised the Indian Army over Operation Sindoor, which targeted nine anti-Indian terror infrastructures in both Pakistan and the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), in response to the terror attack in Phalgam.
In a post on X, Mayawati called the operation “gouravmay” (proud) and “sarahaniy” (commendable), expressing admiration for the Army’s swift and effective action.
“Indian Army’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ action of destroying nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan is glorious and praiseworthy,” the Bahujan Samaj Party Chief said.
The Indian Armed Forces successfully struck nine terror targets using special precision munitions in a coordinated operation called Operation Sindoor, destroying four in Pakistan, including Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot, and five in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), sources told ANI.
The Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force jointly carried out the operation, mobilising assets and troops. The strikes on all nine targets were successful, sources further revealed. The Indian forces selected the locations to target top Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders involved in sponsoring terrorist activities in India.
“Operation Sindoor,” was India’s direct response to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22 that killed 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen and injured several others.
Meanwhile, three innocent civilians lost their lives after the Pakistan Army violated the ceasefire by resorting to unprovoked and indiscriminate firing, including artillery shelling, from across the Line of Control (Loc) and the International Border (IB) opposite Jammu and Kashmir in the early hours of Wednesday, the Indian Army said.
The incident occurred during the night of May 6-7, when Pakistani forces indiscriminately opened fire on civilian areas. The Indian Army stated that it is responding in a “proportionate manner” to the unprovoked aggression.
This ceasefire violation came just hours after India’s precision strikes at anti-India terror targets under Operation Sindoor. (ANI)
