New Delhi, May 8: India’s Minister of State for External Affairs, Kirti Vardhan Singh, led a program commemorating the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor. This operation was initiated by the Indian Army in response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which occurred on May 7 last year. Under Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army successfully targeted nine terrorist camps in Pakistan.
During a meeting held on Thursday, Singh reaffirmed India’s unwavering commitment to combating terrorism. The event paid tribute to the bravery and professionalism of the Indian Armed Forces, coinciding with the anniversary of Operation Sindoor.
The operation was launched following an incident where Pakistani terrorists infiltrated India and killed 26 Indian tourists in Pahalgam. On May 7, 2025, India retaliated by attacking terrorist bases within Pakistan.
A group linked to the UN-designated terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, known as The Resistance Front, claimed responsibility for the attack. Over the course of a four-day operation, India targeted both this group and the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist organization.
The situation escalated into a military conflict between India and Pakistan when the Pakistani army intervened to defend the terrorist groups and launched an attack on India. After successfully thwarting Pakistani assaults and gaining a commanding position, Major General Kashif Abdullah, the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of Pakistan, contacted his Indian counterpart, Lieutenant General Rajeev Ghai, to request a ceasefire.
By that time, India had already destroyed several Pakistani Air Force and missile bases. The UN Security Council condemned the Pahalgam massacre, stating in a press release, “Terrorism in all its forms poses one of the gravest threats to international peace and security.” It emphasized that terrorism is a crime and is wrong, regardless of its motives, location, or perpetrator.
