New Delhi [India], May 17 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah has hailed Operation Sindoor as a testament to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's strong political will, the precision of India's intelligence agencies, and the formidable strength of the country's armed forces.
In a post on X on Friday, Shah said the operation reflects the unwavering capability of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and expressed national pride in the role of the Border Security Force and security agencies.
'Operation Sindoor. It is a unique symbol of the strong political will of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, accurate information of intelligence agencies and the infallible striking power of our three armies. The countrymen are proud of their three armies, the Border Security Force and security agencies,' Shah said.

India launched Operation Sindoor in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. India's precision strikes in Pakistan and PoJK on May 7 killed over 100 terrorists.
Following Pakistan's subsequent aggression, a decision was taken for a swift, coordinated, calibrated counter-attack and IAF struck Pakistan's air bases, command centres, military infrastructure, air defence systems across the entire Western Front.
India had carried out surgical strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir in 2016 and an aerial strike on a terrorist camp in Pakistan in 2019 in response to ghastly terror attacks.
Meanwhile, Amit Shah inaugurated a new Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) in the national capital on Friday. The centre is a step to connect all the intelligence, security, law enforcement and investigative agencies with qualitative and quantitative transformation.
After the inauguration of the centre, Shah held a meeting with the heads of multiple security and intelligence agencies. As India's foremost intelligence fusion centre, MAC has been in existence since 2001, and the Home Minister has been actively guiding the technological upgradation of MAC continuously.
Shah said that the new MAC will provide a seamless and integrated platform for synergising the efforts of all the agencies in addressing the complex and interconnected national security challenges being faced in today's environment.
The Union Home Minister lauded the new MAC network and expressed satisfaction at the successful completion of hardware and software-related tasks in record time. He said that it incorporates futuristic capabilities such as embedded Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to harness the potential of the vast database with MAC and Geographic Information System (GIS) services.
