New Delhi, May 21 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to congratulate him on the success of Operation Sindoor and express gratitude to the Indian Army.

Later, talking to the media persons, Saini praised the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, stating that under his guidance, the brave soldiers of the country had successfully destroyed terrorist hideouts on their land. “Only the Prime Minister could have taken such a historic decision,” he remarked.

By taking such decisive action, the Prime Minister has strengthened the nation, ensuring its safety and empowerment. “Today, there is a sense of satisfaction among the citizens, while fear has gripped the minds of terrorists,” the Chief Minister said.

Replying to a question, the Chief Minister said Operation Sindoor has exposed the true face of Pakistan to the entire world. “While Pakistan was attempting to defame India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unmasked its role in promoting terrorism on the global stage.” He added that the Prime Minister has sent a strong message that “blood and water cannot flow together”.
