Armed forces carried out Operation Sindoor like skilled surgeons: Rajnath Singh

“Our forces acted just like expert doctors or surgeons. A surgeon uses his instruments precisely where the disease lies, and the Indian forces have done the same — striking at the root of terrorism with unmatched precision. I congratulate them for their bravery and commitment,” he said speaking at the silver jubilee celebrations of a private hospital in Lucknow.

This was Rajnath Singh’s first public appearance since the May 7 Indian military operation that struck several terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

The minister said that Indian forces struck deep into terrorist hideouts in Pakistan, eliminating a large number of terrorists. “Our forces targeted the roots of terrorism with great precision, avoiding civilian casualties. This action brought the Pakistani army to its knees,” he said.
