Reijiju said, “The whole country is united with the government and the armed forces.”
According to him, the Defense Minister said in the meeting that “We do not only do politics to form the government, but also for nation building.”
He said, “The Defense Minister said in the meeting that this is an ongoing campaign, so he cannot share technical details of Operation Sindoor launched by the Indian Armed Forces.”
According to Rijiju, this is the reason that no armed forces officers were present in an all -party meeting, as they are busy in the campaign.
He said that all the leaders spoke in one voice and showed maturity and promised to give full support to the government and armed forces. “Political leaders also congratulated the armed forces for the action taken under Operation Sindoor,” he said.
