🏛️ What Happened at the NDA Parliamentary Meeting?

On August 5, 2025, during the NDA parliamentary meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was greeted with thunderous applause by NDA MPs. Amid chants of “Jai Shri Ram” and “Har Har Mahadev”, members garlanded him and congratulated him on the success of Operation Sindoor.

This meeting took place during a largely stalled Monsoon Session of Parliament, where only a few key issues were discussed — notably the Pahalgam terror attack and the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. PM Modi was formally felicitated by NDA leaders in recognition of the decisive military response.

🎯 What Is Operation Sindoor?

Operation Sindoor was a precision missile strike mission launched by India on May 7, 2025, as a retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 Indian tourists.

The operation targeted nine terrorist-linked camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir, including locations like Muridke, Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad, Kotli, and Bhimber.

It lasted for approximately 23 minutes and was executed using indigenous Indian weaponry such as BrahMos missiles, loitering munitions, and the Integrated Air Command and Control System. All three branches of the Indian Armed Forces participated in coordination.

Reportedly, over 100 terrorists were neutralized, and about 20% of Pakistan’s air defense infrastructure was crippled. Importantly, the operation was designed to avoid civilian and military installations, ensuring that it only targeted terrorist infrastructure.

🗳️ Political Reactions & Messaging

PM Modi dedicated the victory of the operation to Lord Mahadev, symbolically linking the name “Sindoor” to dignity, protection, and national resolve.

The government emphasized women-led leadership, with female officers like Col. Sofiya Qureshi and Wg. Cdr. Vyomika Singh representing India in official briefings.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh highlighted the strategic depth of the operation, stating that it had rattled Pakistan’s defense structure and warned that India could resume such operations if required.

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta praised Modi’s leadership and criticized the opposition for allegedly siding with narratives that weakened the national spirit.

The Indian Army also launched outreach programs in educational institutions to raise awareness about Operation Sindoor and counter misinformation campaigns.
