New Delhi [India], May 7 (ANI): Congress leader Rashid Alvi on Wednesday raised questions on Operation Sindoor by asking if every terrorist had been killed in the operation. He stated that if this has happened then it's "good".
Alvi emphasised that whatever the Indian government had asked the Army they did it.
"Much better reply needs to be given, this is bare minimum. Our forces did what govt of India told them to do, but the question again arises. Was every single terrorist killed? Will there won't be another Pahalgam? PM Modi had said that the remaining land of terrorists will be destroyed...if that has happened, then it is good", Rashid Alvi told ANI.
Alvi's statement are divergent from the tone of the statements issued by the Congress top brass including Party President Mallikarjun Kharge who lauded the Indian Armed forces for the action.
"India has an unflinching National Policy against all forms of terrorism emanating from Pakistan and PoK. We are extremely proud of our Indian Armed Forces who have stuck terror camps in Pakistan and PoK. We applaud their resolute resolve and courage. Since the day of the Pahalgam Terror Attack, the Indian National Congress has categorically stood with the Armed Forces and the Government to take any decisive action against cross border terror. National Unity and solidarity is the need of the hour and the Indian National Congress stands with our Armed Forces. Our leaders have shown the path in past, and National Interest is supreme for us," Kharge 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. Prime Minister Narendra Modi constantly monitored Operation Sindoor throughout the night, sources confirmed to ANI. 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. (ANI)
