Director Vivek Agnihotri, known for films like 'The Kashmir Files', 'The Tashkent Files', and 'The Bengal Files', has expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership as Operation Sindoor completes one year. On Thursday, the filmmaker took to social media to share a heartfelt note praising the armed forces and the Prime Minister.
Vivek Agnihotri's Tribute
In his post, Agnihotri wrote: "One year of Operation Sindoor: A year since India showed the world that peace is our nature, but silence is not our weakness. Today, I bow my head to the courage of our leadership led by @narendramodi and our brave army, and the spirit of every Indian who stood united in a moment of national resolve. And perhaps the greatest tribute we can offer is to ensure the story of Operation Sindoor is told to the world. Truthfully. Powerfully. So the world remembers what was defended, what was sacrificed, and what it cost to keep humanity alive. History remembers wars. Civilizations remember courage. Jai Hind."
Upcoming Film on Operation Sindoor
Vivek Agnihotri has also teamed up with producer Bhushan Kumar for an upcoming film titled 'Operation Sindoor'. The movie aims to depict the events of the military operation.
Details of Operation Sindoor
The pre-dawn offensive, codenamed Operation Sindoor, was carried out across nine terror sites in Pakistan last year. According to a press release from the Ministry of Defence, Indian forces specifically targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Surface-to-surface missiles were reportedly used to strike terror camps in Pakistan.
In response, Pakistan launched a wave of misinformation and disinformation to sway public opinion in its favor. However, media reports noted some collateral damage at certain locations. Pakistani officials claimed to have shot down five Indian fighter jets, but without credible evidence, this assertion appears baseless.
Background and Retaliation
The operation was a retaliation for the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 25 Indian civilians and one Nepali national. New Delhi emphasized that the strikes were non-escalatory in nature.
