Sachin Tendulkar leads as Indian cricket fraternity hail armed forces on X for operation Sindoor

Sachin Tendulkar tweeted praising the Indian Armed Forces following Operation Sindoor.

The Indian Armed Forces carried out Operation Sindoor against Pakistan-based terrorists at around midnight on Tuesday, May 6. Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar and other cricketers praised the Indian Army on social media after Operation Sindoor.

The Indian Air Force attacked terrorist bases in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The Indian Government took the step in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. Last month, a group of terrorists based in Pakistan attacked a tourist spot in Pahalgam city in the Kashmir valley.

The terrorists opened fire at innocent people. A total of 26 people died in the attack, including one citizen from Nepal. The incident shook the entire nation, and the Indian government also took some strict actions against Pakistan. For instance, the Indian Government halted the Indus Water treaty, stopped the Wagah-Attari Border, and also launched an attack against the terrorist outfit responsible for the attack.
