PM Modi's Adampur Airbase visit after 'Operation Sindoor' draws praise from citizens

NEW DELHI — As Prime Minister Narendra Modi met soldiers at the Adampur
Airbase following the successful 'Operation Sindoor', citizens applauded his
swift and resolute action against terrorism. They welcomed his gesture of
reaching out to the Indian armed forces to express appreciation for their
bravery.
A day after addressing the nation on the success of the
counter-terror operation, PM Modi travelled to the Punjab airbase on Tuesday
morning to salute the valour and commitment of the armed forces.
'Operation Sindoor' was carried out in response to the
April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, in which 26 people lost their lives to four
heavily armed terrorists, including two from Pakistan.
Speaking to IANS, residents of Guwahati, Assam, expressed
strong support for the Prime Minister's decisions, lauding the firm stance
taken against Pakistan and terrorism.
"The soldiers will be encouraged by the Prime
Minister. It was great of him to visit the soldiers," said Bipul Katalia,
a local.
Sadjag Bajanka from Guwahati said, "Whatever action
was taken against the terrorists was very well measured. It showed India's
decisive stance against terrorism, under which we went into Pakistan and
destroyed the terror hubs. Additionally, the Indus Water Treaty suspension is
also a great step."
Bajanka also appreciated the morale-boosting effect of
the Prime Minister’s interaction with the troops. "PM Modi going to meet
the soldiers was a very nice step taken by him. The jawans got encouraged and
happy when the Prime Minister appreciated them," he said.
Ratan Bhattacharjee, another local, emphasised the scale
and significance of the operation.
"Around 100 terrorists were killed after our armed
forces went into Pakistan and destroyed the terror hubs. Additionally, whatever
PM Modi has said to Pakistan, could have been done only by him, and no other
leader had the strength to say that. The Indus Water Treaty suspension is also
a very nice decision," he noted.
He added, "Going to meet the forces is a matter of
great pride. Honouring the armed forces, especially where a Prime Minister goes
to meet the soldiers personally, we have not seen anything like this
before."
Priyakshi Saikia highlighted the timeliness and impact of
the response.
"Earlier, it used to take a lot of time. However,
this time, the action against terrorism was taken very quickly. The Prime
Minister also motivated the soldiers, because of whom we are able to sleep soundly
in our homes, and encouraged them, which was a great decision by the Prime
Minister," she said.
The people of Assam echoed a shared sentiment of
admiration for the swift and bold measures undertaken by the government, and PM
Modi's personal outreach to the armed forces was hailed as a powerful gesture.
