Patna (Bihar) [India], May 14 (ANI): Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha on Wednesday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the 'torchbearer of peace' and 'Yamdut' (messenger of death) for those who disrupt societal harmony.

Sinha credited PM Modi's leadership for transforming India into a nation that values peace but will not hesitate to take decisive action against those who threaten its stability.

'India has transformed. This is 21st-century India led by PM Modi, who is not only the torchbearer of peace, but also 'Yamdut' for those who disturb peace. He has given an open warning that we will wipe out anyone who disturbs our peace and creates anarchy,' he said while speaking to mediapersons.

This comes after India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7th in retaliation for the April 2025 Pahalgam terrorist attack, targeting nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).

It was executed from Indian territory through the coordinated efforts of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Unlike past operations with aggressive names meant to project strength, this operation's name was chosen as a personal tribute to the victims, particularly the widows of the Pahalgam attack.

Under 'Operation Sindoor,' the Indian Armed Forces targeted terror facilities linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and PoJK. These strikes aimed to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure used for planning attacks against India.

Indian Air Force (IAF) used advanced systems like SCALP Cruise Missiles, HAMMER Precision-Guided Bombs, and Loitering Munitions to carry out these operations with high accuracy and minimal collateral damage.

After three days of intense hostilities, India and Pakistan reached an 'understanding' to stop all military action and firing. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar announced on May 10, 2025.

Earlier, Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal on Tuesday said that PM Modi had fulfilled the promise made to the people after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, as Indian armed forces carried out Operation Sindoor targeting terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

'When terrorists brutally murdered innocent tourists in Pahalgam, Prime Minister Modi had promised the country from the soil of Bihar that we will identify the terrorists and punish them in a way they would not have imagined even in their dreams,' Jaiswal told ANI.

'Under Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army destroyed nine terrorist hideouts by air strike and killed more than 100 dreaded terrorists. Prime Minister Modi has fulfilled the promise he made to the country... Prime Minister Modi clearly stated in his speech yesterday that the valour of the Indian Army is the introduction of the new India, and talk and terror will not go together, water and blood will not flow together,' he added.

Notably, during his address in Madhubani, Bihar, PM Modi said that the terror attack in Pahalgam is an attack on the soul of India and his government will ensure that those involved are decimated and brought to justice. (ANI)
