"Justice has been served" - Cricket fraternity reacts as India destroys terror camps in Pakistan with Operation Sindoor

The Indian armed forces launched 'Operation Sindoor' in the early hours of Wednesday, May 7, attacking terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) regions, including militant organization Lashkar-e-Taiba's (LeT) centers. An official press release confirmed that a total of nine sites were targeted.

The strike from India was a retaliation for the Pahalgam massacre, where at least 26 people lost their lives in a terrorist attack on April 22.

Following the strike, several members of the cricketing fraternity extended their support towards the Indian armed forces by sharing posts on social media. Here are some of the top reactions on X:

"Operation Sindoor reminds us that with courage, strategy, and unity, India can overcome any challenge. A proud moment for the nation! Jai Hind," wrote Ishant Sharma.

"We stand united—there’s no place for terrorism. Justice has been served to the families who suffered," posted Amit Mishra.

"JAI HIND #OperationSindoor is Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam," posted Harbhajan Singh.

"India takes a stand against terrorism. भारत माता की जय," remarked Shikhar Dhawan.

"Precision. Purpose. Power. That’s how India answers," commented Jhulan Goswami.

"जय हिन्द, जय हिन्द की सेना," wrote Pragyan Ojha.

"जब बात सुरक्षा की हो, तो भारत संकोच नहीं करता। #OperationSindoor- एक जवाब नहीं, एक संदेश है," posted Chetan Sharma.

"#OperationSindoor #JaiHind," wrote Suresh Raina.

"Together we stand. Jai Hind," remarked Aakash Chopra.

"Salute to the bravery of our Indian Army. Jai Hind," commented Yusuf Pathan.

Following Operation Sindoor, Union Home Minister of India Amit Shah emphasized that the Indian government remained firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots.
