Leader of Opposition in Jharkhand Assembly Babulal Marandi has welcomed the action of the Indian Army and said that the time has come to raze the remaining land of the terrorists to the soil.
He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Indian Army has started a decisive battle against Islamic terrorism, respecting the public sentiments. The Indian Army, in its well-known style, has displayed amazing valor and bravery and has destroyed the terrorist hideouts by entering the enemy’s house. Those who even raise their eyes towards our country the heads of terrorists and their leaders will be crushed.
Jharkhand Health Minister Irfan Ansari has welcomed the action of the Indian Army by writing “Jai Hind” on social media. He wrote, “Operation Sindoor was carried out against Pakistan under the pressure of Congress. The brave soldiers of our country have carried out ‘Operation Sindoor’ by taking a historic and bold step.”
In the early hours of Wednesday, the Indian Army targeted nine locations responsible for terrorist activities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Former Jharkhand Congress president Rajesh Thakur told news agencies that the entire party stands in support of the bold action of the Indian Army.
“The whole country was in mourning after the Pahalgam incident. Our national president Mallikarjun Kharge and leader Rahul Gandhi had clearly said that we will stand with the central government in every decision and whatever action the armed forces take, we will support it with solidarity,” said Thakur.
He said that we have attacked terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. Pakistan should be happy that it was unable to take action against terrorism. We have helped it, he said.
