New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta remembered the impact of the Pahalgam terror attack on the country and said that the entire nation “seemed to shudder in shock” when the tragedy broke out and the terrorist “unleashed a bloodbath.”
Speaking at an event commemorating the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, the Delhi CM saluted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “unwavering resolve”, “steadfast commitment”, and “profound love for the nation”, adding that India’s response to the Pahalgam terror attack stunned the whole world.
“It was that day, April 22nd, when this tragedy struck; the day terrorists unleashed a bloodbath. The entire nation seemed to shudder in shock… The surviving sisters recounted exactly what those jihadists said, what they uttered, and how, right before their very eyes, they slaughtered their loved ones. I salute our PM Modi, his unwavering resolve, his steadfast commitment, and his profound love for the nation, for he did not hesitate for a single moment before taking a decision that left the entire world stunned. That is precisely why, when ‘Operation Sindoor’ was executed, it was led by two daughters of this nation,” the Delhi CM said.

Operation Sindoor, initiated on May 7, 2025, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians, showcased a calibrated, tri-services response that embodied precision, professionalism, and purpose. Operation Sindoor was conceived as a punitive and targeted campaign to dismantle the terror infrastructure across the Line of Control and deeper inside Pakistan.
Multi-agency intelligence provided confirmation of nine major camps that were eventually targeted in the operation. India’s retaliatory action was based on meticulous planning and an intelligence-led approach, which ensured that the operations were conducted with minimal collateral damage. Operational ethics were central to the mission, and restraint was exercised to avoid civilian harm.
