Hyderabad: Women felt a little relieved when Indian missiles bombed terrorist bases in Pakistan in early Wednesday morning to kill 26 tourists in Pahargam. They were pleased to note that the action was appropriately called Sindor, as many women lost their marriage in the barbaric acts of terrorists, a sign of marriage happiness.
“This has sent a strong message to the wider world that India will not be silent on terrorist acts and will take strong measures to protect its people,” said international political researcher Sreejaswi Thuraka.
“Demolition of terrorist hiding places with precise strikes not only sends a strong deterrence message, but also reflects India's ever-evolving anti-terrorism doctrine to the world,” Sreejaswi said.
“But no strike or arrest can eliminate the pain for women who witnessed her husband murdering her husband before his gaze on April 22. Sindoor calls for long-term security reforms. India must shift from reactive strikes to proactive strategies,” she added.
Kunchala Jerusha, a software professional from Kadapa and working in Hyderabad, said the strike showed: “We are fearless and will not be tortured by nuclear threats. It also shows our military capabilities and plans.”
Jerusa added: “Given the background and name of Sindoor, it is appropriate to ask two female officials to provide a press conference. This is an indirect message to terrorists and Pakistan…our women are good enough for you.”
Government employee G. Damayanti said she felt relieved. She sighed: “Over the past few decades, we have to demolish not only the homes of terrorists, but those who support them. Punish them seriously. We have lost many dear people.”
Vinod Rao Banja, brother of terror victim Vijay Rao Banja, said Sindoor terrorism has caused memorable losses to many loving people because they are not at fault.
Emanuel Nixon, a businessman from Chennai, said India should seek and gain more support from countries around the world in the fight against terror.
