Diplomacy

More than three months after the Pahalgam terror attack, eminent parliamentarians, diplomats, and defence experts lauded Operation Sindoor and underlined the imperative for national unity to tackle cross-border terrorism. In a swipe at the then Congress government, BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi said that Sindoor-like strong retaliatory action should have been taken after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. “What happened on the 7th of May, under the name of Operation Sindoor and the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior leaders, should have occurred after the Mumbai attacks in 2008,” Ms Sarangi said at a seminar in New Delhi on July 23.
