Jammu, May 12 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said that with “Operation Sindoor we have avenged Pahalgam".
“India always advocated for peace. It never wants a war but what happened in Pahalgam was an act of war by terror state Pakistan," Sinha said, during his visit to the Shelter and lodgement centre at Sahib Bandgi Ashram, Mishriwala in Jammu where he met the families who have been affected due to the cross-border shelling from Pakistan.
"I am proud of our soldiers and armed forces. Our war was to teach Pakistan a lesson," said Sinha.

He reaffirmed the commitment of the Government of India and the Union Territory Administration toward ensuring their safety and security.
"The entire nation stands in solidarity with the affected families," he said.

He observed that India will never compromise on its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"We are resolved to dismantle the entire terror ecosystem from Jammu Kashmir. On the night of May 6-7 our Armed Forces executed a precise Operation Sindoor, demonstrating both unwavering resolve and commendable restraint and successfully demolished terror factories in Pakistan, and avenged the killing of innocent civilians in Pahalgam," he added.
