Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 8 (ANI): Congress MP Imran Masood praised the Indian armed forces for the precision of Operation Sindoor, calling it a targeted response against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Calling Pakistan a 'cowardly country,' Masood warned that this was only the beginning of India's efforts to uproot terrorism.
'Our action is selected and pinpoint targeted. We have only attacked the terrorist infrastructure; civilians have not been targeted...Terrorist Masood Azhar will get to understand the pain of the death of family members. Pakistan is a cowardly country. It attacks from behind...This is just the beginning. We have to finish the roots of terrorism...' Masood told speaking to ANI.
Meanwhile, Congress MP Rajiv Shukla said the all-party meeting called by the Centre on Thursday is aimed at briefing all political parties about how Operation Sindoor was carried out. He welcomed the move, saying it was good that the government was consulting everyone.
'The all-party meeting has been called to brief everyone about the situation and how the operation was carried out. It is very good that the Government will hold a discussion with everyone,' Shukla told ANI.
The Congress leader also expressed support for the air strikes carried out by Indian Armed Forces under Operation Sindoor.
'We welcome the air strikes. We have always said we are in support of the government in whatever steps it takes against terrorism,' he added.
Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal earlier confirmed that party president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi will attend the meeting.
'Both the LoPs (Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge) will be there,' Venugopal said.
When asked whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend, Venugopal said, 'The country is expecting that.'
The Centre called the all-party meeting following air strikes by Indian forces that dismantled nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) under Operation Sindoor.
