In a strong show of unity and national resolve, Kharge emphasised that the Indian National Congress has stood firmly with the Armed Forces and the government since the day of the brutal Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, including one Nepali national, on April 22.

“Since the day of the Pahalgam Terror Attack, the Indian National Congress has categorically stood with the Armed Forces and the Government to take any decisive action against cross-border terror,” he added.

Calling for unity in the face of terrorism, Kharge further stated, “National Unity and solidarity is the need of the hour and the Indian National Congress stands with our Armed Forces. Our leaders have shown the path in past, and National Interest is supreme for us.”

Owaisi took to ‘X’ to welcome the action by the defence forces and called for teaching a lesson to Pakistan.

“I welcome the targeted strikes by our defence forces on terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. The Pakistani deep state should be taught a lesson so that there is no other Pahalgam. Pakistan's terror infrastructure should be destroyed,” wrote Owaisi.

The Hyderabad MP ended his post with the ‘Jai Hind’ slogan.

Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar has also welcomed the strikes against Pakistan. “Operation Sindoor - precise, ruthless, & unforgiving. When India strikes, it’s swift and sure. Our forces hit where it hurts. Pahalgam martyrs avenged. Mess with India, pay the price. Proud of our bravehearts! Mera Bharat Mahaan Jai Hind!” posted the BJP leader.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu posted ‘Jai Hind’ on his ‘X’ account to hail the ‘Operation Sindoor’.

‘Zero tolerance for terrorism. Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” wrote Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu.

Former Andhra Pradesh chief minister and YSR Congress Party president Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has also hailed Operation Sindoor targeting terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. “The Indian Defence Forces have launched Operation Sindoor in a decisive response to the heinous Pahalgam terror attack. During such times, such inevitable actions reflect the nation’s unwavering strength in safeguarding its sovereignty and protecting its citizens. All of us stand by you. Jai Hind,” wrote Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader R.S. Praveen Kumar congratulated the defence forces for destroying terror sites in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.

“Hearty Congratulations to the Indian Defence Forces for destroying terror sites in Pak Occupied Kashmir in the early hours today. Nation first, everything else later. Jai Hind,” wrote Praveen Kumar, a former IPS officer.

Operation Sindoor was launched in the early hours of Wednesday, in what officials described as a calculated, restrained yet firm military response.

According to the Indian government, all nine high-value terror targets linked to groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba were successfully struck, without any reported damage to civilian or Pakistani military infrastructure.

The operation was a calculated move by India to ensure that those responsible for the attack face accountability, while maintaining restraint to avoid further escalation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with senior officials, closely monitored the progress of the operation throughout the night.
