Pune: Pragati Jagdale, wife of slain victim Santosh Jagdale, killed in the April 22 Pahalgam attack, said on Wednesday that she was emotional after learning the name of Operation Sindoor initiated by the Indian Army to retaliate against Pakistan.

"I express my gratitude for naming the Operation after Sindoor. Terrorists erased the Sindoor of the women. I got very emotional after reading the name that they remember us. I can't speak much," Jagdale told reporters at her residence here.

She expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and stated that India would not sit quietly if the middle class and commoners were attacked.

Daughter Of Santosh Jagdale Appreciates The Efforts Taken By The Govt

Asavari Jagdale, daughter of Santosh Jagdale, appreciated the efforts taken by the government and the Indian Army to avenge the loss of innocent lives in the ghastly terrorist attack.

Speaking to ANI on Wednesday, Jagdale said that losing husbands and fathers to many was not left in vain.

She also said that India has paid genuine homage and served justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack by initiating Operation Sindoor. The daughter added that the operation's name extends solidarity to the victims' widows.

"We got calls from our relatives (about Operation Sindoor). India has avenged the Pahalgam attack through these air strikes. I was extremely emotional after hearing the name (Sindoor) of the mission. When Amit Shah came to Srinagar to pay homage to those who were given 'veer maran', the sisters who lost their husbands were pleading. I think this is why such a name has been attributed to the operation," Jagdale said.

"The loss of husbands and fathers was not left in vain. India has paid actual homage to them (victims) by striking. I want to thank for the justice served within 15 days," she added.

India has carried out its deepest strikes inside Pakistan's undisputed territory since 1971, successfully targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This marks New Delhi's most significant military action within Pakistani territory in over five decades.
