Union Home Minister Amit Shah<\/strong> on Friday asserted that Operation Sindoor<\/strong> has unambiguously exposed the fact that terrorism in India is \u201ccompletely Pakistan-sponsored<\/strong>.\u201d Delivering the Rustamji Memorial Lecture<\/strong> at the 22nd Investiture Ceremony of the Border Security Force (BSF)<\/strong>, Shah praised the BSF and armed forces for their decisive role in safeguarding India\u2019s borders and national security.<\/p>\n

\u201cOperation Sindoor has revealed to the world that terrorism in India is not homegrown but absolutely sponsored by Pakistan,<\/strong>\u201d Shah declared in his address.<\/p>\n

He lauded the armed forces and BSF for their precision and restraint during Operation Sindoor, noting that Indian forces targeted terrorist infrastructure<\/strong> and not Pakistani military or civilian targets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hit the terror camps in Pakistan. But it was the Pakistan Army that responded, proving its deep-rooted support for these elements. We did not initiate any action against their army or civilians. Our objective was solely to dismantle terror bases,\u201d Shah emphasized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Context of Operation Sindoor<\/h3>\n

The May 7 precision strikes under Operation Sindoor<\/strong> were carried out in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack<\/strong>, in which 26 innocent civilians were killed<\/strong>, allegedly after being identified based on their religion. Following India\u2019s targeted strikes, Pakistan launched retaliatory attacks<\/strong> on May 8, 9, and 10, attempting to target Indian military installations.<\/p>\n

However, India\u2019s air defence systems successfully neutralized the threats<\/strong>, and in a robust counter-offensive, Indian forces inflicted significant damage to Pakistani military infrastructure<\/strong>, including air bases and radar systems. The two countries agreed on May 10<\/strong> to cease all hostilities after four days of intense military exchanges.<\/p>\n

Continuum of India\u2019s Counter-Terror Policy<\/h3>\n

Shah framed Operation Sindoor as part of a consistent zero-tolerance policy on terrorism<\/strong> since 2014. He cited the surgical strikes after the Uri attack<\/strong> and the Balakot airstrikes following Pulwama<\/strong> as earlier examples of India\u2019s proactive security stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom Uri to Pulwama, and now Pahalgam, India has shown the world that it will not tolerate terrorism. Our responses have been precise, powerful, and principled,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shah also underscored the importance of the international community\u2019s appreciation of India\u2019s actions and reiterated that India\u2019s strikes were a response to the killing of innocent civilians, not an act of aggression.<\/strong><\/p>\n

BSF\u2019s Role Celebrated<\/h3>\n

Hailing the BSF’s contribution<\/strong> to national security, Shah said the force has continuously demonstrated unparalleled courage and commitment while defending India’s borders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BSF is a shining example of patriotism and professionalism. From 1965 till now, over 2,000 bravehearts of the force have made the supreme sacrifice, and the nation salutes their dedication,\u201d Shah said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He reminded the audience of the BSF\u2019s pivotal role in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War<\/strong>, asserting that Bangladesh should never forget BSF\u2019s contribution<\/strong> to its creation.<\/p>\n

The Rustamji Memorial Lecture is named after K.F. Rustamji<\/strong>, the founding father and first Director General of the BSF<\/strong>. With over 2.75 lakh personnel<\/strong>, the BSF remains the world\u2019s largest border guarding force<\/strong>, entrusted with securing India’s frontiers with both Pakistan and Bangladesh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
