‘With Operation Sindoor, PM Modi Will End Terrorism,’ Say Wives Of Pahalgam Massacre Victims (Watch Video)

At least nine "terrorist infrastructure" sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) were the focus of India's Operation Sindoor, which was initiated early on Wednesday, May 7.  The operation was called 'Sindoor', after the red vermilion garments that Hindu married ladies typically wear.  This occurred weeks after the horrific assault in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed 26 lives.  The women were left to tell Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the incident after the attackers separated the men and women, killed the males, and spared the women.  One of the terrorists yelled, "Go, tell Modi," after killing a man in front of his wife.

The operation has received a response from the women who lost their husbands in the Pahalgam catastrophe. Pragati Jagdale, the widow of Santosh Jagdale, said, "It's a befitting reply after the way those terrorists erased the vermilion of our daughters," to the news agency ANI.  "I started crying when I heard the name of this procedure.  "The government has my sincere gratitude," she stated.

Modi ji has shown Pakistan that we will not sit quietly, she said, adding that with Operation Sindoor, PM Modi will end terrorism.

The incident also left quite a few other women widowed.  When her husband, Navy officer Vinay Narwal, was shot dead on their honeymoon, Himanshi Narwal, only 24, had been married for six days.  When Shital Kalathiya and her two kids were on vacation, her husband, Shailesh, passed away.  Sohini Adhikari saw her husband Bitan shot in front of their son, who was three years old.  Yatishbhai, Kajalben Parmar's spouse, was killed.  Sheela Ramachandran was ill and decided to stay in Kochi and not join her family on that trip, and was in deep grief when she learnt that her husband, N Ramachandran, had been murdered in front of their grandkids.
