In a strongly-worded resolution passed on Tuesday, the NDA Parliamentary Party paid homage to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and commended the Indian armed forces for their decisive response through Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev in which the three perpetrators of the Pahalgam massacre were killed by security forces in Kashmir last week.
The resolution also lauded the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling his actions a “powerful reflection of the nation’s resolve.”
The resolution comes in the wake of the 22 April attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where Pakistan-based terror group The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba, killed 26 tourists in what was described as a “gruesome and barbaric” attack. The resolution noted that the terrorists segregated the victims based on religion before executing them.
Pertinent to mention that Prime Minister Modi, addressing a rally in Bihar’s Madhubani on April 24, had vowed to identify and punish the perpetrators and their backers. “India’s spirit will never be broken by terrorism,” he had said. The resolution states that this vow was transformed into action during the night of May 6–7, when India launched Operation Sindoor.
According to the NDA, Operation Sindoor involved a “non-escalatory, precise and targeted” strike on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The operation, it said, demonstrated India’s doctrine of zero tolerance to terrorism and signaled that the country will respond firmly and independently to any terror provocation.
The resolution lays out three key doctrinal points highlighted by Prime Minister Modi-India will give a fitting reply to terrorist attacks on its own terms, Nuclear blackmail will not be tolerated and India will act precisely against terror sanctuaries sheltered under nuclear threats.
Thirdly, the resolution said that no distinction will be made between terrorist masterminds and governments that sponsor them.
The operation was also described as symbolically significant. The resolution emphasized the cultural and emotional weight of the name Operation Sindoor, referencing the vermilion worn by married women, and noted that the attack had “removed the Sindoor from our women,” which was then avenged by India’s armed forces.
The NDA also credited the Modi government’s ongoing military and strategic reforms for the success of the operation. These included indigenisation, jointness in defence commands, and technological upgrades such as drone capabilities. The resolution praised the Prime Minister for giving the armed forces a “free hand” and for supporting the concept of operational freedom at a time and place of India’s choosing.
In a post-operation diplomatic push, the government sent 59 Members of Parliament, including those from the Opposition, to 32 countries to present India’s perspective on the Pahalgam attack and the broader issue of state-sponsored terrorism. The NDA described this as “one of the most comprehensive global outreach efforts ever launched by India,” underlining Modi’s commitment to bipartisan diplomacy in matters of national interest.
It mentions that post Operation Sindoor,
international support for India’s position has since grown.
The United States designated TRF as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). A joint declaration by BRICS also condemned the Pahalgam killings and reiterated its stand for “zero tolerance for terrorism” while rejecting “double standards.”
