How Was Operation Sindoor Successfully Executed in Just 22 Minutes?

New Delhi, July 28 (NationPress) During a passionate speech in Parliament on Monday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announced the rapid and impactful achievement of Operation Sindoor, asserting, “Our soldiers infiltrated the terrorists’ strongholds and delivered justice -- for the Sindoor of our mothers and sisters.”

Highlighting the operation's precision and speed, he referred to it as a celebration of the nation’s bravery: “This Sindoor ki laali is a tale of valor.”

According to Singh, the mission focused on critical terrorist centers and accomplished total operational success in a mere 22 minutes, neutralizing over 100 terrorists and their handlers.

He stressed that India resisted any influence from Pakistan and kept its offensive strategy until all targets were addressed.

The Lok Sabha's discussion on Operation Sindoor faced several delays due to loud opposition protests regarding Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) voter verification process. The proceedings were paused thrice before commencing the debate at 2:05 p.m.

The House experienced an intense start to the anticipated debate. Singh reiterated, “We eliminated the terrorists by entering their homes,” noting that over 100 terrorists, trainers, and handlers were neutralized, many of whom received direct backing from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

The Defence Minister highlighted that the operation was not intended for territorial expansion but aimed at dismantling established terrorist networks.

“The goal was not to cross the border or seize land but to wipe out those nurtured for years to endanger India,” he explained.

He also pointed out the collaboration among the three military services, stating that the Navy bolstered its presence in the North Arabian Sea while the Air Force targeted key hideaways in Muridke and Bahawalpur.

Singh asserted that the actions taken were in self-defense and were not escalatory. “Pakistan attempted electronic warfare and targeted Indian airports, but we thwarted every effort,” he stated.

Opposition members, however, continued to vocally demand a prior discussion on the SIR exercise in Bihar, which they argue could disenfranchise marginalized voters.

The House was adjourned thrice before the Operation Sindoor debate could commence, highlighting the growing rifts between the government and opposition on national security and electoral integrity.

The debate is set to extend for 16 hours in the Lok Sabha and another 16 hours in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.

Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi are anticipated to speak, with speculation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may intervene later in the session.
