Srinagar, May 07:
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) J&K Ladakh has extended strong support and appreciation for the Indian Government and Armed Forces for the successful execution of Operation Sindoor, which targeted key terrorist infrastructure across the Line of Control, in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK).

Rajesh Gupta, President of VHP J&K Ladakh, praised the operation as a significant and strategic response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, where nine terrorist hideouts, including the headquarters of several terror outfits, were neutralized. He commended the Indian Army and Air Force for their precision strikes, carried out without civilian casualties, demonstrating both strength and restraint.

The VHP highlighted that while India’s military actions were targeted and humane, the Pakistan Army responded by shelling civilian areas such as Poonch, Manjha Kot, and Karnah, resulting in casualties and widespread destruction. Gupta expressed solidarity with the families of the victims and assured them of VHP’s full support in this difficult time.

The organization has mobilized its full district and state units for on-ground assistance. Key leaders including Vice President Shri Shakti Dutt Sharma, General Secretary Abhishek Gupta, Sangathan Mantri Rajender Gupta, and others are actively coordinating relief efforts. Kshetriy Sangathan Mantri Mukesh Vinayak is monitoring the situation closely and has assured central support if needed.

Rajesh Gupta stated, “Operation Sindoor reflects the unwavering resolve of the Indian Government in fighting terrorism. Our volunteers are ready to serve the nation with medical help, blood donations, and all necessary support.” He reiterated VHP’s continued commitment to national security and humanitarian support during these challenging times.
