"India took a smart step": Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Operation Sindoor

Emphasising on the need to "uproot" terrorism, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said that those who don't learn through diplomatic means have to be taught a lesson

"Terrorism is against humanity and it has to be uprooted. Our deities keep flower in one hand and weapon in another. Those who don't learn through diplomatic means have to be taught a lesson. India took a smart step in the matter and only targeted terror bases," he said.

The spiritual leader assured Indians not to be afraid, adding that the country has taken a right decision.

"Indians within the country and abroad are afraid of what might happen. I want to reassure them that everything will be good and the country is taking the right decisions under the leadership of PM Modi, so nobody has to worry about terror," Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said.
