Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday presented important information regarding ‘Operation Mahadev’ during the discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the Rajya Sabha. He informed that the security forces have neutralized three terrorists guilty of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in this operation.
In his address, Mr Shah said, “On Monday, our security forces conducted Operation Mahadev in which three terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam attack were eliminated. Under the direction of Prime Minister Modi, the army has caused serious damage to the organization ‘Lashkar-e-Taiba’.”
He clarified that the combined effect of ‘Operation Sindoor’ and ‘Operation Mahadev’ is an example of the most precise and prompt action against terrorist activities at the global level. Scientific investigation of the rifles and 44 cartridges used in the Pahalgam attack has confirmed that these terrorists were responsible for the attack. Facial recognition has also been ensured by the camera.
Responding to the Opposition’s allegations over the naming of the operation, the Home Minister said, “‘Har Har Mahadev’ was the war cry of Shivaji Maharaj’s army with which he fought the freedom struggle against the Mughals.”
In the end, Mr Shah expressed his commitment to the House, “I assure that Jammu and Kashmir will be free from terrorism. This is the firm resolve of the Narendra Modi government.”
