Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called the execution of Operation Sindoor “unimaginable”. Speaking at the National Quality Conclave in New Delhi, the defence minister highlighted the “precision with which Operation Sindoor was executed”.
He said, “Nine terrorist camps were destroyed in it and a large number of terrorists were killed. This operation was carried out without harming any innocent and with minimum collateral damage. This was possible because our formidable and professionally trained armed forces had high quality equipment.”
Rajnath Singh also congratulated Indian armed forces for Operation Sindoor. “I congratulate the armed forces for the action they took yesterday and the courage and bravery they showed. Terror camps in Pakistan and PoK have been neutralised, it is a matter of pride for us,” he said.
We have to make the Indian Defence strong: Rajnath Singh
The defence minister further expressed the aim to build the Indian defence ministry strong. “We have to make the Indian Defence industry a strong and trusted brand. Today, I have come to make an important appeal to you. This appeal is to build a strong world leading and state of the art brand India. So that when countries have doubts about products in the world’s defence market, they choose Brand India. Whenever in doubt, go for India, this should be our USP,” the minister added.
In the all-party meeting held earlier, the defence minister had informed that the Indian strikes had killed at least 100 terrorists in the attack on nine terror camps under the still ongoing Operation Sindoor, as per reports.

Indian response has been in the same domain with same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised.”
“Pakistan has increased the intensity of its unprovoked firing across the Line of Control using Mortars and heavy calibre Artillery in areas in Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar and Rajouri sectors in Jammu and Kashmir. Sixteen innocent lives have been lost, including three women and five children, due to Pakistani firing. Here too, India was compelled to respond to bring Mortar and Artillery fire from Pakistan to a halt,” it further said.
