New Delhi: International leaders have voiced their support for India’s recent ‘Operation Sindoor,’ which targeted terrorist facilities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoJK) on May 7.
UK:
Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak backed India’s actions, stating that no country should tolerate terrorist attacks launched from another nation’s territory. He tweeted, “No nation should have to accept terrorist attacks from land controlled by another country. India is justified in striking terrorist infrastructure. There can be no impunity for terrorists.” UK MP Priti Patel also supported India’s right to defend itself and dismantle terrorist networks threatening its security.

USA:
US Congressman Shri Thanedar emphasized that terrorism must be condemned and cannot be tolerated. He reiterated America’s support for India’s right to defend itself and called for thorough investigations into the terrorist attack. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi highlighted the urgency of combating terrorism and preventing escalation, especially amid India’s increasing global cooperation.
This worldwide backing follows India’s recent military strike, where the Indian Armed Forces targeted terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoJK in response to the Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians. The operations involved coordinated strikes by the army, navy, and air force, destroying terror infrastructure linked to groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizbul Mujahideen across nine sites in Pakistan and PoJK.
Officials in Delhi, including Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and military spokespersons, provided details of the targets and confirmed the destruction of several camps in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sarjal, and Mehmoona Joya. This response reflects India’s firm stance against cross-border terrorism.
