The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will organise a nationwide 'Tiranga Yatra' from May 13 to 23 to celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor, sources said on Monday.
According to ANI, senior party leaders, including Lok Sabha lawmaker Sambit Patra, General Secretary Vinod Tawde, and Tarun Chugh, will coordinate the yatra. Prominent Union Ministers, Chief Ministers of the BJP-ruled states, and senior party leaders will lead the processions in different parts of the country, according to sources.
Ex-servicemen, social workers, and prominent social figures will lead the yatra at several places.
During the campaign, the party will reach out to citizens across the nation to raise awareness about Operation Sindoor and its significance for India's security and sovereignty, reported ANI.
As part of this campaign, the BJP will organise press conferences throughout the country to highlight the success of India’s military strikes on Pakistan’s terror infrastructure under the operation. The party will also leverage social media influencers to amplify the message and reach a wider audience, source told ANI.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Patra, who the party’s national spokesperson, said that Operation Sindoor is a clear demonstration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resolve to eliminate terrorists in their safe havens.
"The Prime Minister had resolved that India would eliminate terrorists in their safe havens. Operation Sindoor is a clear demonstration of that commitment," Patra said during a press conference on Monday.
Launched in the early hours of May 7, Operation Sindoor was India’s retaliatory response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in Jammu and Kashmir.
In addition to eliminating over 100 terrorists, the strikes under Operation Sindoor, the armed also struck Pakistan’s air bases and inflicted significant damage on their military capabilities after Islamabad launched a drone attack and shelling on India. The air, land and sea operations were carried out with calibrated restraint, with an emphasis on minimising civilian casualties.
On May 10, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said that Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations contacted his Indian counterpart, following which the two sides agreed to halt all military actions, on land, at sea, and in the air, effective from 5 pm. Misri noted that instructions have been issued to enforce the ceasefire.
However, hours later, Pakistan violated the cessation of hostilities with India's air defence intercepting Pakistani drones amid a blackout in Srinagar and several other bordering districts.
Later that night, in a special briefing, Misri said India takes "very serious note of these violations". India called upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility.
