Taking to X, President of India posted, “General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff, along with General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Army Staff, Air Chief Marshal A. P. Singh, Chief of the Air Staff, and Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff, called on President Droupadi Murmu and briefed her about Operation Sindoor. The President commended the valour and the dedication of the Armed Forces that made India’s response to terrorism a sterling success.”

Operation Sindoor

On 7 May, the Indian Armed Forces carried out coordinated strikes on nine terror hideouts located deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, following the terror attack in Pahalgam on 22 April.

The Indian government also suspended the Indus Water Treaty of 1960, a move that followed a Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting held the day after the Pahalgam incident.

Addressing the nation on 12 May, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that Operation Sindoor had set a new policy standard in India’s fight against terrorism, following earlier missions such as the 2016 surgical strike and the 2019 air strike.

PM Modi also stated that the decision to put the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance underlined India’s firm stance, adding, “Water and blood cannot flow together.”

The Prime Minister emphasised that any future dialogue with Pakistan would centre only on terrorism and the return of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
