BJP women’s wing salutes soldiers for Op Sindoor | Delhi News – Times of India

New Delhi: Women turned out in big numbers for BJP’s Sindoor Yatra in central Delhi’s Connaught Place on Monday to laud the armed forces’ recent incursions into Pakistan and the destruction of terror camps there.Chief minister Rekha Gupta, former Union minister Smriti Irani, BJP MP Kamaljeet Sehrawat, and Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva participated in the march organised by the BJP Mahila Morcha.The march was taken out amid heavy security. Songs such as ‘Mera Rang De Basanti Chola’ and ‘Meri Jaan Tiranga Hai’ played.“Operation Sindoor is our nation’s symbol and commitment. It is not a mission but a message to terrorists that if you cast an evil eye at our daughters, the Indian armed forces are there to protect them. We bow down to those women whose husbands and sons are safeguarding our borders and ensuring our safety. We bow to the armed forces. Our Prime Minister took a vow that he won’t let the country break or kowtow to anayone,” Irani said.Gupta said that through Operation Sindoor, the armed forces had protected the dignity of women in this country. “The terrorists were given a befitting reply, and we bow in front of them (the soldiers). We thank them from the bottom of our hearts,” she said.The forces carried out missile strikes early on May 7 at nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The strikes, called Operation Sindoor, happened two weeks after the killing of 26 tourists in Pahalgam.Gupta said the Sindoor Yatra was far more than a ceremonial event. “It is a powerful and heartfelt tribute from the women of the nation to our armed forces.” She said that through Operation Sindoor, India’s brave soldiers have valiantly safeguarded the honour and pride of the country’s daughters and sisters, an achievement that fills the entire nation with pride.“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, govt and armed forces launched a bold and decisive strike against terrorism in Pakistan, successfully dismantling every terrorist base,” CM said. “On behalf of all the women of India, I offer my heartfelt gratitude to our armed forces,” she said.Irani said Operation Sindoor was not just a campaign but a symbol of the nation’s pride and commitment. “It sends a strong message to terrorists that whenever they look towards the women of this country, they will find the entire nation, Govt of India, and our armed forces standing in defence of every daughter and mother.”She said the nation also bowed to PM Modi. “Today, India’s army and the nation together have given a strong reply to Pakistan: we will not rest until every terrorist camp is destroyed,” she said.
