BJP Launches Nationwide 'Tiranga Yatra' to Honour Armed Forces After 'Operation Sindoor'
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) commenced an 11-day nationwide 'Tiranga Yatra' on Tuesday. This significant outreach initiative is dedicated to honouring the bravery and sacrifices of India's armed forces. The yatra particularly aims to acknowledge their contributions in light of the recently concluded and successful 'Operation Sindoor', emphasizing national pride and military achievement.
Unpacked:
Operation Sindoor was a precision military operation carried out by the Indian Armed Forces in May 2025. It targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied territories as a strategic retaliatory move following the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack in India.
India deployed advanced military technology during Operation Sindoor, including S-400 missile systems, BrahMos cruise missiles, Akash surface-to-air missiles, and anti-drone D-4 systems. These technologies enabled precise targeting and destruction of terror camps and military assets.
Operation Sindoor resulted in significant losses to Pakistan’s military, with the Indian Army reporting 35-40 Pakistan Army personnel killed along the Line of Control and substantial destruction of terror infrastructure, as confirmed by satellite imagery and military briefings.
The 'Tiranga Yatra' is a nationwide initiative led by the BJP to honor the bravery and sacrifices of India’s armed forces, particularly highlighting their achievements in Operation Sindoor. It serves to boost national pride and public recognition of military successes.
