Ajmer, May 7, 2025 – In a powerful statement, Haji Syed Salman Chishty, Gaddi Nashin of Dargah Ajmer Sharif and Chairman of the Chishty Foundation, has lauded India’s armed forces and leadership for the resolute execution of Operation Sindoor, a blistering retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. The operation, named after the sacred vermilion symbolizing marital bonds shattered by the massacre, has struck a deep chord, blending grief with unyielding resolve.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the brave Indian Armed Forces and the decisive leadership of our beloved nation for Operation Sindoor, a righteous response to the heinous terrorist attack on innocent civilians in Pahalgam,” Chishty declared. The strikes, targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK on May 7, were a “moral declaration” against terrorism, he said, emphasizing that “there can be no sanctuaries, no excuses, and no safe havens” for those who perpetrate violence.
The Pahalgam attack, orchestrated by Pakistan-backed groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, left widows and families in mourning, with victims like naval officer Vinay Narwal killed on his honeymoon. The name Sindoor, chosen by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, honors these losses while signaling India’s fierce commitment to justice. “This is not merely a military operation,” Chishty noted, “but a testament to India’s stand—firm, fearless, and just—against the curse of terrorism.”
Chishty, speaking for India’s 1.4 billion citizens, called for global unity to eradicate terrorism, urging faith leaders, citizens, and nations to “preserve the sanctity of life.” He prayed for the souls of the Pahalgam martyrs and pledged solidarity with India’s guardians of peace. “As inheritors of a spiritual legacy rooted in love and unity, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our nation,” he affirmed, warning that those who harbor or fund terrorism will face India’s full might.
The operation’s symbolism resonates deeply, with the Indian Army’s imagery—a spilled bowl of sindoor—evoking both the brutality of the attack and the nation’s resolve. Survivors like Pragati Jagdale and Aishanya Dwivedi have hailed the name as a personal tribute, while posts on X describe it as “sacred and poised,” born “from the wound itself.” As India mourns and rises, Operation Sindoor stands as a tear-soaked vow: justice for the fallen, strength for the living, and an unbreakable shield for the nation’s honor.
