"Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, our armed forces launched OperationSindoor and destroyed training camps for terrorists, giving a befitting reply this time too, just like it did earlier. To give a reply for the attack on its soil, India used its Right to Respond. Our action was done with due deliberations and precision. With the aim of breaking the morale of terrorists, this action was restricted to just their camps and infrastructure. I bow before the valour of our armed forces once again," the Indian defence minioster said.
