Congress Urges PM Modi to Lead After Decisive Strikes in Operation Sindoor

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to preside over an all-party meeting following Operation Sindoor's successful strikes on terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This military action, the largest in over five decades, was in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.

In a call for cohesive leadership, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh has expressed the expectation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair a crucial all-party meeting set for Thursday. The session follows the strategic Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror infrastructure within Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the attack in Pahalgam, Ramesh highlighted the party's long-standing request for a comprehensive meeting. Earlier talks saw the absence of the Prime Minister, but post-Operation Sindoor, the Congress anticipates his participation. The military operation has been lauded for its precision and unprecedented scale.

The Indian Armed Forces undertook Operation Sindoor to dismantle nine terror sites, significantly impacting Pakistan's terror networks, marking the deepest military venture into Pakistani territory since 1971. The operation aimed at minimizing civilian harm, bringing justice to the victims of the Pahalgam attack.
