‘No Place to Hide’: Amit Shah Hails Operation Sindoor as India’s Global Anti-Terror Triumph

In a resounding address marking the 41st Raising Day of the elite National Security Guard (NSG) at its Manesar headquarters on Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah proclaimed that Operation Sindoor has obliterated terrorist strongholds across the border, ensuring no corner of the globe remains a sanctuary for militants. Speaking to the 'Black Cat' commandos renowned for their daring counter-terror raids, Shah emphasized India's unyielding resolve under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, vowing that security forces will pursue perpetrators to the "depths of the Earth" to avenge every outrage.

Operation Sindoor, launched in May as a thunderbolt response to the brutal April 22 Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir that snuffed out 26 innocent lives, saw Indian defense units dismantle terror factories, training camps, and launch sites deep inside Pakistan, alongside key military targets. Shah hailed this as a cornerstone of the government's zero-tolerance doctrine, weaving it into a tapestry of triumphs that includes the scrapping of Article 370, surgical strikes, and air assaults—all aimed at uprooting the very foundations of global jihadist networks. "Our forces have proven that terrorists can't hide anywhere; their time is up," he declared, igniting applause from the assembled commandos.

Complementing Sindoor's fury was Operation Mahadev, a surgical takedown that neutralized the Pahalgam attackers with pinpoint precision, restoring faith in the nation's guardians amid a surge of public morale. Since 2019, the Modi administration has fortified its arsenal against terror through sweeping legal overhauls, including amendments to the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the National Investigation Agency Act. The Enforcement Directorate's relentless probes under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act have choked off financial lifelines to extremists, while new systems for forensic tracking of terror funding have plugged long-standing loopholes.

Shah spotlighted groundbreaking reforms in the revamped criminal codes, which for the first time explicitly define terrorism and streamline prosecutions, leading to over 57 individuals and countless outfits being blacklisted as unlawful. The notorious Popular Front of India was dismantled, and the Multi Agency Centre was turbocharged for seamless intelligence sharing nationwide. "These steps aren't just policies—they're weapons in our war on fear," Shah asserted, crediting the NSG's storied legacy of valor in operations like Ashwamedh, Vajra Shakti, and Dhangu Suraksha, which have shielded India from chaos since 1984.

Looking ahead, the government is expanding the NSG's footprint with a sixth hub in the sacred city of Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, joining outposts in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Gandhinagar to bolster VIP protection and rapid response. Shah laid the foundation for a cutting-edge Rs 141 crore training facility on 8 acres, designed not only for Black Cats but also for nationwide anti-terror squads, promising to sharpen India's collective edge against shadowy threats. As the nation stands taller, Shah's words echo a promise: In this new era, terror's shadows flee before the light of unassailable security.
