Jammu: The Indian Army’s western command said on Sunday that ‘Operation Sindoor’ was planned, trained and executed to deliver justice.
The Western Command posted a video on X with narration showing soldiers buzzing with confidence about the success of ‘Operation Sindoor’.
The post read: "Planned, trained & executed. Justice served".
“It started with the Pahalgam terror attack. The country had no anger but a desire to avenge the innocent killings. Pakistan was taught a lesson that its future generations won’t be able to forget. Pakistani pickets from where fire was opened at our positions were completely destroyed. It was not revenge but justice which had to be delivered. Soldiers of the enemy deserted their posts and ran for their lives. Operation Sindoor was such a lesson that Pakistan had not learnt for decades,” the narration supporting the videos showing targeting of Pakistani pickets on the border said.
The video featured footage of Operation Sindoor, showing enemy territory being struck with heavy artillery and shelling.
Meanwhile, the Indian Army clarified on Sunday that no DGMO-level meeting between India and Pakistan was scheduled for the day, reaffirming that the ceasefire between the two nations remains in effect.
A defence ministry statement said, “Some media houses are reporting that the ceasefire between India and Pakistan is ending today. In addition, queries are also being received if a DGMO-level talk is scheduled today? The response is as under:- No DGMO talks are scheduled today. As far as the continuation of a break in hostilities, as decided in the DGMOs interaction of 12 May is concerned, there is no expiry date to it.”
The DGMOs of India and Pakistan agreed on May 12 to end hostilities and uphold a ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirmed that, despite the ceasefire, trade with Pakistan and the Indus Water Treaty would remain suspended.
Meanwhile, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, addressing soldiers at Badami Bagh headquarters in Jammu and Kashmir and Bhuj in Gujarat, emphasised that India would honour the ceasefire only if Pakistan refrains from supporting terrorist activities against India.
He said at the Indian Air Force base at Bhuj that the current ceasefire meant that India had kept Pakistan on probation based on its behaviour. “If the behaviour improves, it is fine; but if there is any disturbance, the harshest punishment will be given,” the minister warned.
The armed forces are on high alert throughout the country, and the security forces and police have been asked not to lower their guard against the terrorists, their overground workers (OGWs) and sympathisers in the hinterland.
