New Delhi: The Indian Air Force (IAF) Air Chief Marshal AP Singh Dhillon on Thursday hailed Operation Sindoor as a "national victory", and said all the Indian forces came together to execute it in a very professional manner.

In his address at the CII Business Summit here, he also said, "We were taking the path of truth, I think, God was with us also in this." "This Operation Sindoor that we've been talking about, it's a national victory. I thank every Indian. I am sure, every Indian wanted....was looking towards this victory," the IAF chief said.

"Like it has been said again and again that this was an operation that was executed in a very professional manner by everybody, all the agencies, all the forces, we all came together...and when truth is with you, then everything happens on its own," he said.

Operation Sindoor was launched early May 7 in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.

All subsequent retaliations to Pakistani offensives were carried out under this operation.
