Tiranga Shaurya Samman Yatra is not a mere yatra, it is an opportunity to salute and honour the courage and bravery of the Indian Armed Forces,’ he added.

Earlier in the day, CM Dhami led the Tiranga Shaurya Samman Yatra in Haldwani, Nainital, commemorating the Indian forces and the success of Operation Sindoor.

A day prior, a meeting of the Council of Ministers was held, during which a unanimous congratulatory resolution was passed acknowledging the Indian Army, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the Ministry of Defence for the success of Operation Sindoor.

The resolution stated: ‘Operation Sindoor reflects the success of the indomitable courage, immense valour and excellent strategic skills of the Indian Army. This campaign has emerged as a living example of India's sovereignty, security and self-confidence.’

The Council also expressed confidence that the operation will serve as a historic source of inspiration for future generations and will be recorded as a golden chapter in India’s military history.

The BJP’s Tiranga Yatra, which began on May 13, is scheduled to continue until May 23. The campaign has been organised in several states including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Dibrugarh, Srinagar and Odisha, to express gratitude to the Armed Forces and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the success of Operation Sindoor.

Following the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 people, including a Nepali national, Indian forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7. The operation involved precision strikes that destroyed terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), eliminating nearly 100 terror operatives. Key targets included Bhawalpur, the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters, and Muridke, a major Lashkar-e-Taiba training base.

A ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan was announced on May 10 following the strikes.
