In the same X post, Kalyan said how India practised "tolerance for decades".

"Heartfelt thanks to the brave leadership of the three armies who once again filled the entire India, sitting in silence after much suffering, with the spirit of bravery through "Operation Sindoor", and to Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji who stood firmly with them...!!

"Jai Hind #OperationSindoor," wrote singer Adnan Sami on X.

Justice has been served, thanks to our armed forces, said podcaster and influencer Ranveer Allahbadia on Instagram.

In his post, Allahbadia also said an average Pakistani is not India's enemy. "It is Pakistani terrorists & more importantly, Pakistani military leaders & the ISI," he added.

India's actions came two weeks after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad.

In a high-level meeting with the top defence brass, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 29 gave the armed forces "complete operational freedom" to decide on the mode, targets and timing of the response to the terror attack in Pahalgam.
