Tiranga Yatras celebrate valour of armed forces in Op Sindoor
Massive Tiranga Yatras were held across the Capital on Sunday to celebrate the Indian armed forces’ decisive victory in Operation Sindoor, a military operation against Pakistan following the recent Pahalgam terror attack.
From Janakpuri to Karawal Nagar and North West Delhi, Delhi’s streets reverberated with chants of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Vande Mataram” as citizens, political leaders and social organisations marched in tribute to the soldiers.
In Janakpuri, Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood led a “Shaurya Samman Yatra” from the Dabri police station to Kadimi Market. Addressing a large crowd, Sood said: “Operation Sindoor is a symbol of India’s pride and sovereignty. Our soldiers have delivered a decisive blow to terrorism, destroying enemy infrastructure deep inside Pakistani territory.”
He hailed the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and called the yatra a tribute to national unity and courage.
In northeast Delhi, Tourism and Culture Minister Kapil Mishra led a grand “Tiranga Yatra” from Khajuri Chowk to Signature Bridge. Mishra called the Operation Sindoor a historic military achievement. “If terrorists dare to look at India, they will face a befitting reply,” he declared, while praising the Army’s swift destruction of multiple Pakistani airbases.
The BJP also organised “Tiranga Yatras” in North West, Najafgarh and New Delhi districts, with senior leaders, including Yogendra Chandolia, Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Bansuri Swaraj, Satish Upadhyay and Olympian Vijender Singh, participating. “India has changed. Our Army’s actions have made it clear that the country will no longer stay silent in the face of terror,” Chandolia said.
Bansuri Swaraj described the Operation Sindoor as a “historic resolution for justice and national pride”, while Sehrawat asserted that any future firing from Pakistan would be treated as terrorism and answered with force.
Across Delhi, the yatras drew support from residents, RWAs, market associations and youth groups, turning the city into a sea of tricolour.
