The recent missile strikes under Operation Sindoor, carried out by the Indian armed forces on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, have sparked an overwhelming sense of national unity across the political spectrum. Despite the typical partisan divides that characterize India’s political landscape, the retaliation in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, saw politicians from all major parties standing shoulder to shoulder, supporting the country’s military action and praising the resolve of India’s armed forces.
On Wednesday, as news of the successful strikes spread, leaders from various political parties took to their social media platforms to express solidarity and praise for India’s military. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh led the charge with the patriotic slogan, “Bharat Mata ki Jai,” symbolizing national pride and unity. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath followed suit with a hearty “Jai Hind,” celebrating both the nation and its brave soldiers, while Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde of Shiv Sena tweeted, “Jai Hind. Operation Sindoor.”
Even opposition leaders showed their appreciation. Congress leader Randeep Surjewala’s tweet echoed the sentiment with “Jai Hind,” while Union Minister Chirag Paswan from the Lok Janshakti Party remarked, “Satyamev Jayate. Jai Hind ki Sena,” applauding the efforts of India’s military.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also took to social media, expressing his pride in the armed forces with a simple but impactful statement: “Proud of our Armed forces. Jai Hindi!” His words reflected the collective pride that reverberated through the nation, as the loss of 26 innocent lives in the Pahalgam attack resonated deeply across the country. The unity demonstrated by India’s political leaders highlighted a crucial moment of national resilience and the recognition that terrorism knows no political boundaries.
Despite being a key opposition party, the Indian National Congress expressed unwavering support for the government’s military actions. Congress general-secretary Jairam Ramesh made it clear that the party stands firmly behind India’s national interests, especially in combating terrorism. He noted on social media that the Congress had consistently supported the government’s response to the Pahalgam terror attack, stating, “This is a time for unity and solidarity.”
Ramesh’s message echoed the sentiment of party leadership, emphasizing that national security must always be the priority, regardless of political differences. The Congress’s vocal endorsement came with the hashtag #OperationSindoor, showing their commitment to a unified response in eradicating terrorism and defending India’s borders.
Mallikarjun Kharge, the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, further reiterated the importance of national unity during these critical times. He praised the courage and determination of the Indian Armed Forces, expressing pride in their actions to strike terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Kharge also emphasized that the Congress has always stood by the government in taking decisive action against cross-border terrorism. “National Unity and solidarity is the need of the hour,” Kharge declared, underlining that India’s fight against terrorism must be a collective effort.
As Operation Sindoor unfolds, it is clear that the response to the Pahalgam attack has brought a rare sense of unity across India’s political spectrum. With politicians from all parties expressing their support for the nation’s defense efforts, the message is clear: India stands united in its resolve to fight terrorism. In times of adversity, the country’s political leaders have come together, setting aside differences to prioritize national security and honor the sacrifices of its armed forces. The strikes may have targeted terror camps, but the collective will to protect the nation remains a source of strength for India, and this moment of solidarity will not be forgotten.
