Mumbai: The families of Pahargham victims in Maharashtra praised the “Operation Sindor”, saying the operation’s name respects women, calling the action justice and expressing respect for women who lost their husbands in the Pahargham terrorist attack.
“The name of the surgery is 'sindoor', and I think it's a respect for the naming of a woman like my mother,” said Kunal Ganbote, a son of Pune resident Kaustubh Ganbote.
Pragati Jagdale, wife of the murdered victim Santosh Jagdale, said she was very excited after learning that the Indian army launched an operation called Sindor to retaliate against Pakistan. “I saw tears in my eyes when I heard the name of this operation. This is an appropriate answer to how terrorists can eliminate our daughter's fear. I sincerely thank the government.”
“The strike is appropriate. When I went there, I had a sindoor, but when I came back, it wasn't there… the terrorists had wiped it,” Pragati said.
On April 22, Jammu and Kashmir attacked terrorist attacks, killing 26 people, of which Maharashtra was the largest casualties, with six deaths and five injuries. The victims from Maharashtra are Atul Mone, Hemant Joshi and Sanjay Lele.
“We cry with happiness. The way the surgery is named, our tears will not stop,” said Asavari Jagdale, daughter of Santosh. “The sisters who were wiped out by these terrorists, India attacked them in nine locations. This is a real tribute and justice for those killed by terrorists.”
Harshal Lele, who lost his father, Sanjay and two uncles Atul and Hemant in the terrorist attack, said: “I am very satisfied that my late father and uncle will be peaceful now… it is necessary. My only point is that this should not be a strike. There should be a continuous attack so that the seriousness will eventually be understood.”
