Srinagar, May 11: Syed Nowshaad, brother of Syed Adil Hussain Shah, a local who lost his life while trying to save tourists during the Pahalgam terrorist attack on Sunday, thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the armed forces for launching Operation Sindoor and avenging the incident.
He added that terrorism must be eradicated in Jammu and Kashmir so that innocent lives are not lost. Speaking to ANI, Nowshaad said, “I thank Prime Minister Modi and the armed forces for launching Operation Sindoor and avenging the Pahalgam terror attack. I am proud of our armed forces. Terrorism must be eradicated in Jammu and Kashmir so that innocent lives are not lost. We had a lot of expectations from Prime Minister Modi and the government and they avenged the Pahalgam terror attack.” Hyder Shah, father of Syed Adil Hussain Shah, expressed happiness that Prime Minister Modi has avenged the Pahalgam terror attack. Shah said, “We are happy as PM Modi has avenged the Pahalgam terror attack. Syed Adil Hussain showed humanity and saved the lives of a lot of people. We are proud of him.” Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7, targeting nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoK). This operation was a retaliatory response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 civilians, including one Nepali national were killed.
Following India’s operation, the conflict between India and Pakistan deepened, which resulted in increased cross-border shelling from Pakistan and retaliatory action from the Indian armed forces.
On Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations contacted his Indian counterpart. The two sides agreed to halt all military actions, on land, at sea, and in the air, effective from 5 pm. Misri noted that instructions have been issued to enforce the ceasefire, with another round of DGMO-level talks scheduled for May 12 at noon. (ANI)
