Operation Sindoor: Modi Meets President, Reviews Counter-Terror Mission

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan to brief her on the precision military strikes carried out under Operation Sindoor. The strikes, executed early Wednesday morning, targeted nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including key headquarters and training centres of terrorist outfits Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). These strikes came two weeks after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, including one Nepali national.

"Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan and briefed her about Operation Sindoor," the president's office wrote in a post on X, confirming the encounter. Pictures of the exchange were also made public.

Prime Minister Modi has also delayed his planned trip to Europe due to the heightened tensions between India and Pakistan at the moment. In addition to attending the Nordic Summit in Norway from May 13-17, the planned itinerary included stops in Croatia, Norway, and the Netherlands, according to official sources.
