General Manoj Naravane, former Chief of India's Army Staff, emphasized the strategic success of Operation Sindoor at the Television Journalists Association's award ceremony in Mumbai. The operation targeted terror hubs in Pakistan as a counteraction to April's Pahalgam attack which claimed 26 lives.

Operation Sindoor, executed in May 2025, marked a clear politico-military objective. It involved precision-driven airstrikes that demolished key terror infrastructures, eliminating substantial threats. The campaign, though suspended following Pakistan's ceasefire proposal, served as an assertive yet restrained response from India.

General Naravane noted that the decision to halt operations showcased India's maturity and enhanced its global image, proving its readiness to employ force when necessary while preferring peace. This balance has significantly elevated India's stature on the international stage.
