President Droupadi Murmu hails Operation Sindoor

President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the joint session of Parliament on Wednesday, January 28, was marked by strong assertions of India’s security achievements and the government’s success in tackling internal and external threats.

Setting the tone for the Budget session, she lauded the elimination of Maoist influence across much of the country and praised the Indian Armed Forces for their decisive



response to terrorism through Operation Sindoor, launched in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack in 2025.

President Murmu invoked the words of Guru Tegh Bahadur– “bhay kahun ko deit nehn nehn bhay manat aan (we should neither scare anyone nor be scared of anyone)” — reminding the nation that India’s strength lies in its fearless spirit, one that neither intimidates others nor succumbs to fear.
