In a lengthy blog post, Amitabh Bachchan addressed the issue and wrote, "The innocent couple on a vacation holiday in Pahalgam, was attacked by terrorists, posing as tourist guides .. they pulled them out in the open, asked the husband to pull his pants down, and when he saw that he was not circumcised, a traditional religious procedure in Muslim men, he told him recite the Kalma .. when the man a Hindu did not know, he set up to shoot him .. his wife fell at his feet and said do not kill him .. but he mercilessly shot him, and made the wife a widow in front of her eyes .. the wife then begged this monster, this demon, to kill her also .. this devil of a man said: ‘I won’t kill you .. you go and tell Modi' ..!!"

"Feeling immensely for the unspeakable grief of the widow, her mental state and her absolute destruction .. I suddenly remembered a line from one of my Father’s poem:… and this I built ..the wife went to Modi and said: this is the line from that poem .. 'Hai cheeta ki raakh kar main maangti, sindoor duniya (the ashes of the funeral pyre are in my hands and the world is asking for sindoor) ..," he wrote.

On Operation Sindoor, Amitabh continued that the name for the operation is “symbolic” and added that the sindoor is the symbol of “dedication, respect, protection, immortality .. prized and displayed with pride, assiduity, commitment, sedulousness.”

The actor said that the Pahalgam attack "will never be forgotten". "SO ..What this monster did at the time of the attack, he killed the husband, mercilessly, despite the pleading of the wife .. in a sense he wiped away the 'sindoor’ from the head of the wife .. a symbol of religious respect, for a married woman ..the words of Babuji were apt when I thought of them ..I have the ashes in my hand, and world asks for my sindoor.. The Pahalgam attack where they killed 26 innocent tourists .. all with their families enjoying a holiday, mercilessly, at one spot - even on a couple just married three days ago, who had come for their Honeymoon .. will never be forgotten.”

Amitabh lauded the Modi government on Operation Sindoor. "SO ..the government, who have been telling the neighbouring authorities to stop terrorist camps and activities in our country, has never been heeded ..Hence Modi and the government decided to respond to the terrorist base camps in the neighbours and launched a military procedure .. the results of which are well known .. 9 of their terrorist camps and outfits were destroyed .. militarily .. AND ..this is important to note .. the military Operation was titled: OPERATION SINDOOR .. Brilliant thought .. it signified that the demons wiped out the sindoor from the the married women, made them widows and India through the attack and naming it Operation Sindoor signified symbolically that we shall fight to restore it .. and they did.”

Concluding it he said that this reminds hims of the “famous Poem AGNIPATH ..And I chose to select words from it: as an inspiration and a demand to the Army and all Indians .. to continue the fight !! Against the injustice done to us and in particular the innocent .. !!! 'you shall never stop .. you shall never turn back .. you shall never bend ..Path of Fire! Path of Fire! Path of Fire!!”
