Operation Sindoor, a military strike targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan, has generated strong emotional reactions from families of the victims of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in 26 deaths.
Asvari Jagdale, daughter of victim Santosh Jagdale, expressed joy, stating, “We were crying with happiness. Modi has taken revenge and the way the operation was named, our tears wouldn’t stop. Those sisters whose sindoor (symbol of marital status) was erased by these terrorists–India has struck them at nine locations. It feels truly different, and our tears of joy just won’t stop.I cried a lot on hearing the name of the operation . It is a real tribute and justice to those who were killed by terrorists,” says Asavari Jagdale, daughter of Santosh Jagdale, who was killed in Pahlagam terror attack.
“I am continuously watching the news. I salute the Indian army and thank PM Modi, who listened to the pain of the country’s people. The way the Indian military has destroyed the terrorism that is flourishing in Pakistan, I thank our military for that. My entire family has been feeling light since we heard this news” Sanjay Dwivedi, father of another victim Shubham Dwivedi said.
Sangita Ganbote from Pune, who lost her husband Kaustubh Ganbote in the April 22 attack, labelled the strike as a “befitting reply”, while her son shared that they were waiting for such action from the Indian government.
The wife of Shubham Dwivedi said, “I want to thank PM Modi for taking revenge for my husband’s death. My entire family had trust in him, and the way he replied (to Pakistan), he has kept our trust alive. This is the real tribute to my husband. Wherever my husband is, he will be at peace today.”
Father of Syed Adil Hussain Shah, the pony operator who died in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, welcomes the Indian Army’s move.
“We are delighted that killing of those 26 Pahalgam victims including my son, has been avenged,” says Hyder Shah.
“I thank the govt. Security forces and govt took the revenge…in the future no one should lose their lives like this…we had confidence in PM Modi…we got justice today,” he adds. Adil, a local had died while trying to save the tourists during the attack.
The operation is perceived as bringing closure and relief to the victims’ families, underlining the need for justice against terrorism. Indian forces targeted the infrastructure of terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, as reported by the Ministry of Defence, which confirmed the airstrike aimed at thwarting planned attacks on India.
