NEW DELHI: “Chun chun ke marenge” – the war-cry of BJP netas since the Pahalgam massacre rang true as India launched a retaliatory strike and the party brass hailed ‘Operation Sindoor‘, asserting their commitment to “action”.“Proud of our armed forces. Operation Sindoor is Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our brothers in Pahalgam,” home minister Amit Shah, the first to articulate BJP’s revenge cry, posted on X, emphasising Modi govt’s resolve to deliver a befitting response to any attack on India. The country remains firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots, he said.After his “Bharat Mata ki Jai” post on social media soon after the successful conduct of the strike, defence minister Rajnath Singh said the armed forces followed the ideals of Lord Hanuman in neutralising targets across the border.Speaking at the inauguration of 50 BRO infrastructure projects across six states and two UTs, Singh said, “We have followed ideals of Hanuman-ji, which he demonstrated while destroying Ashok Vatika – Those who struck me, I struck them. We only targeted those who harmed innocents.”“The targets we had set were destroyed with accuracy as per the meticulously planned strategy. We have shown sensitivity by ensuring that no civilian population was affected in the slightest,” he added. BJP president J P Nadda said on X, “India’s message on Pahalgam – If you provoke us, we will not spare you.” PM Modi had said that those who attack soul of India will face severe punishment, Nadda recalled. “India is both capable and resolute to uproot terrorism. We will eradicate menace of terrorism,” he said.Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan saluted the valour of armed forces and said India avenged the Pahalgam attacks. “We said terrorists ko ‘mitti mein mila denge’, and look, we’ve done it. Pahalgam (strike) avenged,” he said in a post in Hindi on X. “This is a capable, empowered, competent, and powerful India moving forward under leadership of PM Modi,” Pradhan said.
