"India will never tolerate terror": Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah commends Army's 'Operation Sindoor'

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 7 (ANI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday commended the Indian Army for its heroic execution of Operation Sindoor, and said that India will never tolerate terror in any form.
In a strongly worded post on X (formerly Twitter), Siddaramaiah wrote, "I salute the extraordinary courage of our armed forces behind Operation Sindhoor. Their heroic action reaffirms that India will never tolerate terror in any form."
The Chief Minister described the Pahalgam attack as more than just an act of violence.
"The brutal attack in Pahalgam was not just on innocent lives, it was an assault on the dreams and spirit of India. Every effort of our brave soldiers is a pledge to bring justice to the victims, their families, and to every Indian who believes in peace and humanity," he said.

He added that Karnataka stood firmly with the Indian armed forces in their mission to defend the country.
"Karnataka joins the nation in expressing unwavering solidarity with our forces. We are proud of your valour, sacrifice, and unflinching commitment to protect our sovereignty," the post read.
Reiterating the nation's resolve against terrorism, Siddaramaiah concluded, "Terror has no place in our land. India will respond with strength and unity."
Congress chief and Rajya Sabha LoP Mallikarjun Kharge also applauded the accomplishment of the Indian armed forces during Operation Sindoor, saying that national unity and solidarity were the need of the hour.
He said that the Congress has stood with the decisions of the armed forces and the government since the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 people.
"Since the day of the Pahalgam Terror Attack, the Indian National Congress has categorically stood with the Armed Forces and the Government to take any decisive action against cross-border terror. National Unity and solidarity are the need of the hour, and the Indian National Congress stands with our Armed Forces. Our leaders have shown the path in past, and National Interest is supreme for us," Kharge posted on X.
Meanwhile, Asavari Jagdale, daughter of Santosh Jagdale, who was killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, expressed her appreciation for the efforts taken by the government and the Indian Army to avenge the loss of innocent lives in the ghastly terrorist attack.
Speaking to ANI on Wednesday, Jagdale said that the loss of husbands and fathers to many was not left in vain.
She also said that India has paid genuine homage and served justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack by initiating Operation Sindoor. The daughter added that the operation's name extends solidarity to the victims' widows.
"We got calls from our relatives (about Operation Sindoor). India has avenged the Pahalgam attack through these air strikes. I was extremely emotional after hearing the name (Sindoor) of the mission. When Amit Shah came to Srinagar to pay homage to those who were given 'veer maran', the sisters who lost their husbands were pleading. I think this is why such a name has been attributed to the operation," Jagdale said.
Operation Sindoor, a targeted military action against nine anti-India terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation was reportedly carried out in retaliation for the terror attack in Phalgam. (ANI)
