As the nation stands united in the aftermath of one of the most significant counter-terror operations in recent history, voices from all walks of life have begun to rise in solidarity. Among them is a legendary figure from Indian cricket, who knows what it means to carry the weight of the nation on her shoulders — Jhulan Goswami.
In a decisive and high-stakes operation that has sent shockwaves across the region, the Indian armed forces launched a series of surgical missile strikes early Wednesday (May 07) under the banner of Operation Sindoor. Conducted at around 1:30 PM, this bold military response targeted nine terror camps situated across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK), including strategic hubs like Muridke and Bahawalpur — known to shelter Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed respectively.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed that 24 precision-guided missile strikes were executed in total. These coordinated strikes led to the elimination of more than 70 terrorists and left over 60 others severely injured. By striking at the heart of these terror organizations’ infrastructure, India has dealt a substantial blow to their operational capabilities. This action comes in the wake of the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam, Anantnag district of Jammu & Kashmir, which occurred on April 22 and claimed 26 innocent lives, including 25 Indian nationals and one citizen from Nepal.
As the nation absorbed the gravity and magnitude of this military retaliation, a wave of solidarity and national pride surged across the country. Among those who voiced their support was none other than Jhulan Goswami — India’s legendary fast bowler and a sporting icon known for her fierce commitment and patriotism.
Taking to the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Jhulan Goswami delivered a succinct yet stirring statement that echoed the national sentiment. She wrote, “Precision. Purpose. Power. That’s how India answers.” Her words, sharp and impactful, resonated widely with citizens who viewed the operation as a fitting tribute to those lost in the Pahalgam attack.
Known for wearing her heart on her sleeve, Goswami’s message went beyond just a tweet — it symbolized the voice of a nation that refuses to bow to terror.
