Amritsar (Punjab) [India], May 7 (ANI): Praising the ‘Operation Sindoor’ which targeted nine anti-Indian terror infrastructures in Pakistan, in response to the Pahalgam attack, Congress leader and former Punjab minister, Raj Kumar Verka reiterated his party’s support to the armed forces.
Speaking to ANI, Verka emphasised that the whole world has praised India’s action.
“Congress stands with the country and its army. Yesterday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi encouraged all party members to stand with Indian and the Indian Army. In need of any help, we’ll support them, encourage them. This step, which the Indian Government has taken, has been praised by the whole world,” Raj Verka said.
The Congress leader also demanded that Pakistan should be declared a “terrorist state”.
“All countries should come together and declare Pakistan a terrorist state. Nobody supports Pakistan, and the whole world condemns it. Even if war happens, the people of this nation are ready to fight”,” he said.
Further, slamming Pakistan for sponsoring terrorism, Raj Kumar Verka said that the neighbouring country plans against India.
“Woh geedad bhabhkiyaan hain, who kya attack karenge (They’re empty threats, what will they attack?)?” he remarked, further adding, “Pakistan has been performing little mischiefs since the beginning, and we’ve been tolerating it. Pakistan plans against India and sends weapons, terrorists, and drugs here. But, it is time to avenge. Indian Army and its people won’t step back now, and Congress will continue to stand by the Indians,” he said.
The Indian Armed Forces successfully struck nine terror targets using special precision munitions in a coordinated operation called Operation Sindoor, destroying four in Pakistan, including Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot, and five in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), sources told ANI.
The Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force jointly carried out the operation, mobilising assets and troops. The strikes on all nine targets were successful, sources further revealed. The Indian forces selected the locations to target top Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders involved in sponsoring terrorist activities in India.
“Operation Sindoor,” which targeted nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, was India’s direct response to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22 that killed 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen and injured several others. (ANI)
