Guwahati, May 7 Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Thursday that India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers, asserting that the country's military response during "Operation Sindoor" sent a strong message to anti-India forces across the world.
In a post on social media platform X marking one year of "Operation Sindoor", Chief Minister Sarma hailed the Indian armed forces for what he described as a precise and powerful military action against terrorists and their supporters.
"India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers," the Chief Minister said, adding that the operation showcased the country's strike and defence capabilities in an evolving security environment.
Referring to the military action as the "wrath of the Indian military", he said the operation was launched against elements who "dared to raise their eyes on Maa Bharti".
"With pure precision and power, not only were the terrorists and their all-weather backers eliminated, but the world also saw India's strike and defence capabilities in this evolving scenario," he added.
The Chief Minister also said that "Operation Sindoor" was a warning to all anti-India elements not to act against the country.
"Op Sindoor was a message to all those anti-India elements -- do not dare to act against India, else you will be annihilated from the face of Earth," Chief Minister Sarma said in the social media post, ending it with the slogan "Jai Hind".
The remarks come amid continued political and public discourse surrounding national security and India's response to terrorism.
Leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have repeatedly highlighted the role of the armed forces and the Centre's security policies in dealing with terror threats and safeguarding the country's sovereignty.
Chief Minister Sarma, who has often taken a strong stand on issues related to national security and terrorism, has on several occasions praised the Indian armed forces for their operations against insurgent and terror groups.
The Chief Minister's post on Thursday drew reactions from BJP supporters and social media users, many of whom lauded the armed forces and echoed patriotic sentiments online.
