Chennai, May 12 — Actor and politician Kamal Haasan on Monday commended the central government for its decisive response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, stating that Operation Sindoor has firmly demonstrated India’s resolve against terrorism.
In a letter shared on his official 'X' (formerly Twitter) handle, Haasan remarked that the military operation sent an “unambiguous message to the world” that India will never succumb to terror threats.
"This is a time not for triumphalism, but for reflection — to learn, to refortify and to rebuild — in the service of a stronger India," he wrote, emphasizing the need for thoughtful vigilance rather than mere celebration.
Haasan extended heartfelt appreciation to the Indian armed forces, describing them as “India’s pride,” whose unwavering courage and commitment to duty continues to safeguard the nation. “With eyes on the Tricolour and hearts full of duty, you remain every brave and watchful,” he noted.
He also lauded the extraordinary resilience displayed by people in the frontline states of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Gujarat during the crisis. Their solidarity, he said, exemplified national unity.
“The people of India stood united as one force,” Haasan added, underlining that such unity is essential in confronting challenges to the nation’s security and sovereignty.
The statement from Haasan adds to the growing chorus of support for the government’s stand on national security following the Pahalgam incident, which has drawn wide political and public attention.
