PRIME Minister Narendra Modi has hailed Operation Sindoor as a “Vijay Utsav” (victory celebration) for the nation, describing it as a shining testament to the strength and precision of the Indian armed forces.
Speaking to the media ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, PM Modi called for a united parliamentary tribute to the operation’s success, which he said would further encourage national defence capabilities and inspire citizens across the country.
“This Monsoon Session is a ‘Vijay Utsav’,” PM Modi said. “The entire world has witnessed the strength of the Indian armed forces. The objective set for Operation Sindoor was achieved with 100 percent success. In just 22 minutes, our forces neutralised terrorists in their own hideouts.” Lauding the ‘Made in India’ defence initiative, PM Modi said that it is now drawing increasing global interest.
Urges unified salute to armed forces in Parliament
“The ‘Made in India’ defence systems showcased during the operation reflect a new era of India’s military selfreliance. Whenever I interact with leaders of other countries, there is growing curiosity and appreciation for Indianmade weapons,” he noted. PM Modi expressed hope that Parliament will engage in meaningful discussion on Operation Sindoor during the ongoing session. He emphasised that a unified expression of national pride by lawmakers would not only bolster the morale of the armed forces but also foster innovation, manufacturing, and job creation in the defence sector.
