"If you touch us, we won't spare you": UP Minister Sanjay Nishad as India initiates Op Sindoor

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 7 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Minister Sanjay Nishad on Wednesday morning spoke highly of the efforts taken by the government and the Indian Army to initiate 'Operation Sindoor', saying that this was a "changing India". He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can't see the suffering of the daughters and sisters of the country, and thus, he has initiated such an operation.
"I said it before that this is a changing India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi apni behen betiyon ke sindoor ko ujadte hue nahi dekh sakte (he can't see the sufferings of our daughters and sisters). I congratulate him on initiating Operation Sindoor. I feel proud of the Indian Army. If you touch us, we won't spare you. If they don't learn, we will teach them," Nishad, founder of Nirbal Indian Shoshit Hamara Aam Dal (NISHAD) party, told ANI.
Asavari Jagdale, daughter of the Santosh Jagdale, who was killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, expressed her appreciation for the efforts taken by the government and the Indian Army to avenge the loss of innocent lives in the ghastly terrorist attack.
Speaking to ANI on Wednesday, Jagdale said that the loss of husbands and fathers to many was not left in vain.
She also said that India has paid genuine homage and served justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack by initiating Operation Sindoor. The daughter added that the operation's name extends solidarity to the victims' widows.
"We got calls from our relatives (about Operation Sindoor). India has avenged the Pahalgam attack through these air strikes. I was extremely emotional after hearing the name (Sindoor) of the mission. When Amit Shah came to Srinagar to pay homage to those who were given 'veer maran', the sisters who lost their husbands were pleading. I think this is why such a name has been attributed to the operation," Jagdale said.
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.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced that a press briefing on Operation Sindoor will be held on Wednesday at 10:00 AM. Further details regarding the operation are expected to be shared during the briefing.
The strikes were carried out to avenge the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and to eliminate Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks in India.
The Ministry of Defence, in its statement, said, "A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'OPERATION SINDOOR', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed."
"Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution," the statement added.
Indian Armed Forces successfully struck nine terror targets, four in Pakistan, including Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot, and five in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), using special precision munitions in a coordinated operation, sources told ANI. The operation was jointly carried out by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, with the mobilisation of assets and troops.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was constantly monitoring Operation Sindoor throughout the night, sources confirmed to ANI. 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. (ANI)
