"Justice served": Relatives of Pahalgam victims cry tears of happiness after launch of Op Sindoor - World News Network

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], May 7 (ANI): In a deeply emotional response to India’s recent military operation in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Asavari Jagdale, daughter of Santosh Jagdale–one of the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack–expressed her sentiments on the strike carried out by Indian forces.
Speaking to ANI, Jagdale said, “We were crying with happiness. Modi has taken revenge, and the way the operation was named, our tears wouldn’t stop. Those sisters whose sindoor (symbol of marital status) was erased by these terrorists–India has struck them at nine locations. It feels truly different, and our tears of joy just won’t stop.”
Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people, including several tourists from Maharashtra.
Meanwhile, Sanjay Dwivedi, father of Shubham Dwivedi, another victim of the Pahalgam attack, said that the move made by the Indian Army instilled a sense of faith in the country’s government.
“I am continuously watching the news. I salute the Indian army and thank PM Modi, who listened to the pain of the country’s people. The way the Indian military has destroyed the terrorism that is flourishing in Pakistan, I thank our military for that… My entire family has been feeling light since we heard this news…” the father said.
Manoj Dwivedi, a relative of Shubham Dwivedi, said that justice had been finally served to the victims.
“On 22nd April, when our child lost his life, we said that a revolution is going to come in our country, and we were sure that PM Modi would take the strictest steps to finish terrorism. I want to thank PM Modi for the real tribute that the Army has given today to our son…” the relative said.
India on Wednesday carried out its deepest strike inside Pakistan’s undisputed borders since the Indo-Pakistan 1971 war.
The situation was constantly monitored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi throughout the night, as per sources. All nine targets were successfully struck, sources further added.
Indian forces selected the targets with the intent of eliminating top Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks in India.
In an official statement, the Ministry of Defence stated, In the early hours of Wednesday, the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.
“Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in the selection of targets and method of execution,” the statement added. (ANI)
