Operation Sindoor: How Did India React to the Pahalgam Terrorist Attack?

Operation Sindoor is a masterstroke by India, but ever since this news has come out, Pakistan has started a propaganda campaign. It wants to make the world believe that Pakistan is innocent. Pakistan does not take the blame for this whole matter, and India has promoted the war by carrying out this attack. India has targeted terrorist training sites. Pakistan wants the world to think that we have destroyed mosques and killed civilians. But this is a blatant lie. Let us understand what India did in Operation Sindoor, why it did it, and what difference it makes.

Operation Sindoor is a statement in itself.

Because when terrorists attacked Indians in Pahalgam, they challenged Indians to go and tell Modi. And the press conference after Operation Sindoor was addressed by two women officers, Colonel Sofia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyamika Singh. India has told the whole world that our women are not weak. We are capable and can bravely face every challenge. Plus, in the center ministry, Vikram Misri, India’s Foreign Secretary, who is himself a Kashmiri Pandit.

This picture in itself is a symbol of India’s firmness. The terrorists who thought they would incite Hindu-Muslim riots in India must be crying in their graves.

Look at this map. India has shown great care and restraint while choosing its attack sites. We have ensured that no official Pakistani military site is destroyed and no civilian is killed. Look at this map. You can see that these are the areas that fall on the border of India. Let’s understand one by one:

Site 1: Bahawalpur

Bahawalpur falls in the Punjab state of Pakistan. There is a madrasa called Markaz Subhan Allah, which is a non-terror training site of Jaish-e-Mohammed. Every attack on India is planned here. Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Mansoor Azhar himself has admitted that 10 members of his family have been killed.

Site 2: Muridke

Muridke is very close to Lahore, where Lashkar-e-Taiba’s headquarters, Markaz Taiba, were attacked. You must know that the responsibility for the attack in Pahalgam was taken by the Resistance Front, which is an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Propaganda is run from this area, and there are training camps, too.

Site 3: Tehra Kalan

Tehra Kalan is very close to the Indian border, and cross-border infiltration occurs here.

Site 4: Sialkot

A terrorist camp named Mahmoona Zoya has been destroyed in Sialkot. It was the camp of a terror outfit named Hizbul Mujahideen, which keeps sending its people to Kashmir.

Site 5: Barnala

Barnala, where the LED carries out radicalisation and recruitment. It also trains terror squads.

Site 6: Kotli

Kotli, there are two different camps here: Masjid Abbas, which Jaish-e-Mohammed uses, and the other is Hizbul Mujahideen’s Camp Kotli. It is a significant place in POK that keeps training terrorists time and again.

Site 7 & 8: Muzaffarabad

Muzaffarabad is the capital of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). Lashkar’s most dangerous camp is located here. Syedna Bilal Camp, which provides logistical support to the terrorists, has also been destroyed here.

This whole operation was over in 23 to 25 minutes. That is, by the time Pakistan came to know what was happening, Indian fighters came back home. Now you see and think that if India had to attack the Pakistani government or their military, they had many other options. If they had to attack civilians, there were many different cities where there could have been more civilian casualties. But India has shown a lot of restraint.

World Media’s Reaction

India has shown a lot of restraint, and the world media should talk about this restraint. But is anyone talking about this issue? No. Pakistan is not sitting idly in its retaliation. The Pakistani Army has targeted Poonch and Rajouri in J&K.

They’re only targeting the residential area in India. At least 15 innocent Indians have been killed, including children and women. There are reports from Kashmir that some children have also been killed or seriously injured.

But the world media is silent on all these matters. BBC will never go here and make any report. That is why we have to convey our truth to the world that Pakistan is not a victim in any situation here. Pakistan started the aggression. In fact, Pakistan has always claimed that many of its people are victims of terror.

Pakistani Propaganda

One should learn from Pakistan how to spread propaganda. They have some non-tactics. Either they make false claims of retaliation or start circulating old, doctored videos. Often, to show the damage, they play some footage of Gaza and say that these are strikes on a Pakistani city. When someone fact-checks and says that this footage is of Gaza, then they go into denial. They say that now there is no terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan.

Pakistani Media – A Masterclass in Misinformation

This is about 1980, but the memory of Pakistani people is so weak that recently Osama bin Laden was found next to their military base. Even after knowing all this, Pakistan can do propaganda on the world media. This is their great strength. Because they have the support of lies, and someone has rightly said that by the time the truth wears slippers, lies travel around the world. Especially if that lie is in favor of Pakistan.

China’s Strategic Backing in Spreading Disinformation

China is fully supporting Pakistan in spreading this lie. Pro-Pakistani handles are circulating the photos of old crashed planes because they want to show that they have also taken some action. All these crash reports are fake news and are being spread to scare you.

Who Supported Operation Sindoor?

A statement came from Israel that they support India’s right to self-defense. But all other countries are silent. Many countries, like Russia, the USA, the UK, and France, have just said that the escalation should stop. That is, everyone is playing the neutral game. Russia, too, because we cannot forget that China is more important for them than India. So indirectly, these people want a war so that their economy can benefit from our war.

Summing Up!

It is the responsibility of every Indian to fight against misinformation because, due to this misinformation, who knows what foreigners might think about India? Many people consider Pakistan innocent, and this will not stop until the truth about India reaches them. Until they are reminded again and again how Pakistan has repeatedly broken our trust, the way the propaganda is going on, it seems that the world wants to portray Pakistan like Ukraine and India like Russia, which would be completely wrong. Showing India as an aggressor and Pakistan as innocent would be completely wrong.

If you agree with this point, then spam Pakistan is not a victim in the comments below because making the Indian perspective strong in this war matters to me.
