Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday acknowledged the contribution of women personnel during Operation Sindoor, saying that the ‘brave daughters’ of the Border Security Force displayed exceptional bravery. 

Speaking during the ‘Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Mahasammelan’ in Bhopal, PM Modi asserted that while worshipping Shakti, we offer sindoor, which is now a symbol of India’s bravery, reported ANI. 

He said, “In Pahalgam, terrorists not only shed the blood of Indians, but they also attacked our culture. They tried to divide our society. These terrorists have challenged the women's power of India,  a challenge that has now turned into a nightmare for the terrorists and their handlers. Operation Sindoor is India's largest and most successful counter-terrorism operation. Our forces destroyed terrorist hideouts in places that even Pakistan's army had never imagined. This operation made it loud and clear that proxy wars through terrorism will no longer be tolerated. Now, we will strike even inside enemy territory, and those who support terrorists will also pay a heavy price.”
