BJP MP Sambit Patra on Monday lauded the Indian armed forces.

BJP MP Sambit Patra lauded the Indian Armed Forces for Operation Sindoor and stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised he will "avenge" the death of 26 people in Pahalgam.

While briefing the media, Sambit Patra stated that from April 22 to May 7, there was a demand for immediate action within the country, ANI reported.

The BJP MP said that PM Modi promised to take revenge for the Pahalgam attack which will be beyond the imagination of the enemy. He added that the Indian Armed Forces fulfilled their promise and "despite surgical strikes in the past, Pakistan could not guess when it would be struck."

"After the Pahalgam terror attack, the PM has promised that we will avenge the death of 26 people. The PM said that the revenge would be beyond the enemy's imagination, and so it was. He had also said "mitti mein milayenge" and "ghus ke maarenge"; that is what we did. PM Modi's decision and the bravery of our Armed Forces ensured terror sites are reduced to rubble...From 22nd April till 7th May, there was an atmosphere of tension in the country; there was a demand for immediate action. Despite surgical strikes in the past, Pakistan could not guess when it would be struck", Sambit Patra said, ANI reported.

Lauding the armed forces, Patra said, "I am holding this press conference as an Indian. The terror demolition that we have seen by India in the last few years... the way India demolished terror hideouts in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor has sent a message across the world. A decisive message in the fight against terrorism. The Indian armed forces have shown exemplary courage. All the workers of the BJP and entire India thank our Army, Air Force and the Navy and all the brave soldiers who ensured the success of Operation Sindoor."

"Operation Sindoor is a military operation and a non-military operation has also taken place. The Indus Water Treaty, on which Pakistan is 90 per cent dependent, was canceled. What did not happen in 50 years, has happened now" said Patra.

The Indian Armed Forces' May 7 precision strikes under Operation Sindoor have dismantled nine major terror camps associated with the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Five of the nine terror camps were located in PoK, and the other four in Pakistan.
