Holding the tricolour high, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath flagged off the ‘Bharat Shaurya Tiranga Yatra’ on Wednesday and commended the armed forces for successfully striking terror infrastructure in the “failed nation” of Pakistan.
The success of Operation Sindoor, carried out in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, sent a powerful message to India’s enemies, he said.
Pointing to the huge congregation at the rally, one of the many being organised by the BJP across Uttar Pradesh, the chief minister said it proved the respect people have for the armed forces.
“This patience and dedication reflect how citizens stood with our soldiers and government during Operation Sindoor.”
With India tracking the links of the Pahalgam massacre to Pakistan, Adityanath castigated the neighbouring nation as a “failed state” that has only sown seeds of terrorism in the past 70 to 75 years.
