New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday drew similarities between Operation Sindoor and the killing of Osama bin Laden by US forces in Pakistan.
Describing attacks on nine terror sites in Pakistan as the “deepest-ever cross-border strike” by India, the vice president recalled the September 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States.
Without naming bin Laden, he said that on May 2, 2011, a global terrorist who planned, supervised, and executed September 11 attacks inside the US was “dealt with” by the US forces “similarly”.

“Bharat has done it. And done it to the knowledge of the world,” he said addressing an event of Jaipuria institutions here.
He said that a new “global benchmark” has been set. While maintaining the spirit of peace, the objective has been to strike at terrorism.
For the first time, precise strikes were carried out deep across the International Border on the strongholds of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
He said the strikes were so precise that only terrorists were harmed.
Dhankhar said that after the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given a message to the global community from Bihar. “Those were not empty words. The world has now realised,” he said.
He also said that the Pahalgam terror attack, which left at least 26 people dead, was the deadliest attack on civilians since the Mumbai terror attack.
