PM’s Adampur Air Base visit exposed Pak’s ‘propaganda’: Altaf Thakur

Srinagar, May 16: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Altaf Thakur on Friday hailed the Tiranga rallies held across the world under ‘Operation Sindoor’ as a “historic and emotional moment for every Indian”. He commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s unannounced visit to Adampur Aur Base in Punjab, calling it a masterstroke that exposed Pakistan’s falsehoods with facts.
From the streets of London to Times Square in New York, and from the shores of Sydney to the skyline of Dubai, the Indian Tricolour flew high, symbolising unity, strength and peace, Thakur said in a statement issued here. Rallies were also held across Jammu and Kashmir, with a massive show of unity witnessed at Srinagar’s iconic Lal Chowk Clock Tower.
Thakur, accompanied by senior BJP leaders and hundreds of enthusiastic youth, led a spirited Tiranga March through the heart of the city, culminating at the historic tower. Tricolours fluttered high, slogans of unity echoed, and the atmosphere pulsed with patriotic energy.
“The Tiranga didn’t just fly—it roared across continents and in the heart of Kashmir,” said Thakur, who is also a party spokesperson for J&K.
“Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Operation Sindoor has evolved into a global wave of patriotism. The Indian diaspora—and now even the remotest corners of Kashmir—have proven that the spirit of Bharat lives strong,” he added.
The BJP leader said the global and local response was not merely ceremonial—it was strategic. “This is a clear message to the world that India’s spirit is resilient and unyielding. We stand united—across oceans, across ideologies, and beyond any propaganda,” he remarked.
Responding to recent disinformation pushed by Pakistan regarding damage to the Adampur Air Base, Thakur commended Prime Minister Modi’s unannounced visit to the base in Punjab. He called it “a masterstroke that exposed falsehoods with facts”.
“While Pakistan attempted to spread lies, Prime Minister Modi stood with our jawans, reviewed operational readiness, and proved that India does not bow to deceit. His presence alone crushed the false narrative,” he said.
The BJP leader also used the occasion to address the youth of Jammu and Kashmir. “Let this Tiranga movement inspire you. Let us reject division and embrace our identity as proud citizens of a strong and sovereign India,” he urged.
