“We, the artists, are creating a portrait of Prime Minister Modi as a tribute to his hard work and dedication during Operation Sindoor. The artwork is being crafted using natural stones, and all six of us, are from the Muslim community. We are working together on this project,” handicraft businessman Adnan Sheikh told PTI.

He said that they want to send a message that in difficult times, Muslims in India always stand united with the country and want to give a strong response to Pakistan.

“Through this gesture, we want to convey that in times of national crisis, the Muslim community stands firmly with India. We hope to personally present this portrait to Prime Minister Modi,” Adnan Sheikh added.

Other targets included the Markaz Taiba at Murdike, Markaz Ahle Hadith at Barnala, and Shwawai Nalla camp at Muzaffarabad, all associated with the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Additionally, Makaz Raheel Shahid in Kotli and Mehmoona Joya in Sialkot, belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen, were also hit.

Of the nine targets, four were located in Pakistan and five in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.
