SAMBA: J&K Pradesh BJP Vice President and former Minister Mr. Surjeet Singh Slathia today led a spirited Tiranga Rally in Samba, organized to honor the nation's victory in Operation Sindoor, launched to avenge the Pahalgam massacre.

Addressing the enthusiastic rally, Mr. Slathia, who is also MLA Samba, lauded the bravery and precision of India's armed forces, saying that Operation Sindoor was a decisive and righteous response to the heinous massacre of innocent civilians in Pahalgam, carried out by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists.

“India has made it clear that the blood of its citizens will not go unavenged. The enemies of peace and humanity have been given a fitting lesson,” he declared to thunderous applause. Mr. Slathia emphasized that the rally was not just an event, but a symbol of national resurgence and collective resolve to stand united against the forces of terror.

He underscored the fact that India is no longer a passive observer in the face of terror.  â€œThe time of restraint in the face of provocation is over. Pakistan, the epicenter of global terrorism, has served a strong message. Our forces are not just responding—they are eradicating the very roots of terror from our soil,” Mr. Slathia said.

Speaking on the occasion, MLA Vijaypur Mr Chander Parkash Ganga said that India's response to terrorism, both diplomatically and militarily, is now being recognized globally as a firm and moral stand against forces that threaten civilised societies worldwide. “Terrorism is a crime against humanity. What happened in Pahalgam was not just an attack on India—it was an attack on the values of peace, tolerance, and coexistence that define the modern world,” Mr Ganga added..
