New Delhi [India], May 7 (ANI): Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit has congratulated the Indian armed forces for conducting Operation Sindoor that struck nine terrorist sites in Pakistan in retaliation against the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists.
"I don't think we will ever get such good news after waking up in the morning. I congratulate all three services - Army, Navy, Air Force... We have destroyed the nine terror sites," Dikshit told ANI.
"We have always said that we will destroy the places that are nurturing these terrorists... It was needed, a good and right action has been taken," he added.

"Proud of our Armed Forces. Jai Hind!" Gandhi posted on X.
Congress leader Pawan Khera said, "We are proud of our Army. If someone threatens Indian citizens, they will meet the same fate. Our Army has proven that again. On the night of April 22, we (Congress) said that we would stand with the government. If someone threatens India, we will support what the government decides. The country stands united."
Congress chief and Rajya Sabha LoP Mallikarjun Kharge also applauded the accomplishment of the Indian armed forces during Operation Sindoor, saying that national unity and solidarity were the need of the hour.
He said that the Congress has stood with the decisions of the armed forces and the government since the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 people.
"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. National Unity and solidarity are 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," Kharge posted on X.

India has carried out its deepest strikes inside Pakistan's undisputed territory since 1971, according to CNN, successfully targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This marks New Delhi's most significant military action within Pakistani territory in over five decades. (ANI)
