The Shiv Sena on Thursday erected posters across Mumbai hailing the Indian Army and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the wake of Operation Sindoor, a military offensive reportedly carried out by Indian Armed Forces against Pakistan.
According to ANI, the posters were prominently displayed near Dadar Station, one of the busiest railway hubs in the city. The banners conveyed messages of support and admiration for the Armed Forces and the Prime Minister, commending their swift and decisive action in response to recent terrorist activity.
The operation was conducted on Wednesday as a joint mission by the Indian Armed Forces targeting nine key locations across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). This action followed the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, which claimed multiple lives and drew widespread condemnation.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Colonel Sophiya Qureshi shared official details of Operation Sindoor during a press briefing. According to ANI, Wing Commander Singh stated that the operation was launched with the clear aim of delivering justice to the victims and their families. The Armed Forces struck nine identified terror sites, ensuring that the operation was precise and effective.
