Our brave soldiers have just one dream and one resolve – destroy the enemy and its capability to attack the country and to safeguard our citizens and countryís sovereignty and territorial integrity,î the LG said. ìI am seeing determination in your eyes and I want to tell the people across the country that they are in safe hands. The entire nation is drawing inspiration from your valour. May Prabhu Shri Ram give you the strength to decimate the enemy.

Your history is full of valour and courage. India always advocated for peace. After the brutal massacre of our citizens at Pahalgam, the main objective was to destroy the terrorist hideouts. ëOperation Sindoorí avenged the Pahalgam terror attack by destroying terror factories inside Pakistan. But, the enemy is targeting our military establishment and our citizens. We are giving them a befitting reply,î he told the soldiers.
