Jammu, (DD): In a strong statement of resolve against cross-border terrorism, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today visited the shelter and lodgement centre at Sahib Bandgi Ashram in Mishriwala to meet families displaced by recent Pakistani shelling. During his visit, he reaffirmed India’s unwavering commitment to national sovereignty and praised the armed forces for executing Operation Sindoor in response to the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam.
While addressing the affected families, LG Sinha said, “India has always advocated for peace. It never wants a war, but what happened in Pahalgam was an act of war by terror state Pakistan. With Operation Sindoor, we have avenged Pahalgam. I am proud of our soldiers and armed forces. Our war was to teach Pakistan a lesson.”
He stated that the entire country stands with the families affected by cross-border shelling and assured that the government is committed to ensuring their safety and long-term welfare.
Reaffirming India’s national stance, Sinha added, “India will never compromise on its sovereignty and territorial integrity.” He commended the armed forces, saying, “Our Armed Forces have repeatedly demonstrated their capability to respond decisively to threats posed by the terror state Pakistan.”
The Lieutenant Governor strongly condemned Pakistan’s role in fostering terrorism and held it responsible for the ongoing violence and displacement inflicted through its proxies in the region.
Referring to the recent military response, Sinha said, “We are resolved to dismantle the entire terror ecosystem from Jammu & Kashmir. On the night of May 6–7, our Armed Forces executed a precise Operation Sindoor, demonstrating both unwavering resolve and commendable restraint, and successfully demolished terror factories in Pakistan, avenging the killing of innocent civilians in Pahalgam.”
He further warned that any threat to the safety of Indian citizens would provoke a response so decisive that “the action of our armed forces will be remembered by seven generations of Pakistan.”
The LG also expressed gratitude to individuals and organisations providing aid to the displaced and announced that protective bunkers will be constructed based on updated assessments to ensure civilian safety in border areas(DD)
