 "Today's address of PM Modi is a clear declaration of the policy of 'New India' against terrorism. Operation Sindoor is not just a military action, it is a resolve to protect the honour of our sisters and daughters. Whoever dares to wipe off 'Sindoor' from the foreheads of our mothers and sisters is sure to be reduced to dust...," UP CM Yogi Adityanath said. 

Union Home Minister Amit Shah took to X, "Nation salutes the unparalleled valour of our Armed Forces – the destroyers of our enemies and the shield of Bharat. We also salute our first line of defence, the courageous personnel of the BSF. The bravery of our forces will forever be etched in our glorious history. I congratulate PM Modi for his exemplary leadership in delivering justice to the departed souls of our innocent brothers. Time and again, PM Modi has proven that no enemy of Bharat can go unpunished."

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta tweets, "...Today in his address to the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has firmly placed India's firm and clear policy towards terrorism before the entire world. This address is not just a statement, but an echo of the collective sentiments and self-confidence of 140 crore Indians. The Prime Minister's clear message is that now any talks with Pakistan will happen only when the subject is terrorism and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Indian Army has not only taken a decisive step through ' Operation Sindoor ' but has also redefined the line of conflict - now if there is any terrorist attack on India, we will respond to it in our own way, in our own terms..."

After PM Modi's address, red streaks were seen and explosions heard as India's air defence intercepted Pakistani drones amid blackout in Samba. After the first wave of drone activity and air defence fire, no drone activity was observed for the past 15 minutes in Samba, ANI reported citing Army sources.

BJP to launch nationwide 10-day Tiranga Yatra from May 13 to May 23; Aims to reach out to every citizen, highlighting the achievements of Operation Sindoor

Schools in J&k to reopen tomorrow, except in border districts —- Kupwara and Baramulla, and Gurez sub-division in Bandipora district.

Jammu & Kashmir Deputy CM Surinder Choudhary met the family of Rifleman Sunil Kumar. He said, "Sunil Kumar sacrificed his life for the country...Our armed forces are very brave and have always given a befitting reply to Pakistan...Pakistan has suffered huge losses and yet it has not learnt anything from it...The government stands with the family of Sunil Kuma."

On being asked about Pakistan's propaganda that Indian Armed Forces have targeted religious structures, J&K CM Omar Abdullah said, "They (Pakistan) didn't just target one community...they fired heavily near Gurudwaras, temples, Madrasas and Dargahs."

DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai tried to explain the Indian Army's action using cricket metaphor.

DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said, "Targetting our airfields and logistics is way too tough. I saw that Virat Kohli has just retired from test cricket; he is also one of my favourites. In the 1970s, during the Ashes between Australia and England, two Australian bowlers, Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson destroyed the batting lineup of England, and then Australia gave a proverb - "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Thommo don't get ya, Lillee must". If you see the layers, you'll understand what I am trying to say. Even if you crossed all the layers, one of the layers of this grid system will hit you ."

The Indian military shows the debris of a likely PL-15 air-to-air missile, which is of Chinese origin and was used by Pakistan during the attack on India. The wreckage of the Turkish-origin YIHA and Songar drones that were shot down by India has also been shown
