Operation Sindoor sent global message of India’s resolve to protect citizens: RajnathDefence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday praised the armed forces for their valour during Operation Sindoor, saying it sent a global message about India’s resolve to protect citizens. Indian armed forces conducted Operation Sindoor in May 2025 in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. Drawing a parallel with the mega blood donation camp, Singh asserted that it represents compassion while Operation Sindoor showcased courage. He described blood donation as ‘jivandan’ and ‘mahadan’, stressing that despite remarkable advances in science and medicine, no artificial substitute for human blood has yet been developed. He underlined that every blood donor and recipient is, in their own way, serving the nation, and urged the people, particularly the youth, to make blood donation a culture.
