India’s briefing on Operation Sindoor, undertaken in the small hours of Wednesday- May 7, 20125 mornings, played it out to the world how dangerous Pakistan’s terror infrastructure had become to the comity of nations, India, in particular.
The presentation of facts by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and the details given out by the two lady officers of the Indian army and Air Force , made a number of crucial points to inform the world that how Pakistan had been bleeding India and had more such plans for the future , which necessitated the launch of Operation Sindoor. Although the immediate reference was to the April 22nd terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 civilians, mostly tourists , dead , there was an overall backdrop in which Pakistan had been consistent with its policy of running error training camps and sending terrorists to the country to strike at civilians and soldiers alike .
After the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan, instead of responding to the calls to roll back its cross-border terrorism machinery, it resorted to denials and allegations against India. It has been part of its policy to stage high—volume terror attacks and then plead innocence. Despite, the fact, its hands were established in all the terror attacks from Mumbai to Akshardham to Uri, Pulwama and Now Pahalgam, it never owned the responsibility.
Since, the UN Security Council in its April 25 resolution had underlined that the perpetrators and sponsors of Pahalgam be brought to justice, India acted against the entire terror infrastructure and supply chain of terrorists in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir. The MEA briefing laid bare all the details and the background of the terror camps hit across the LoC and international border , from PoK’s Muzaffarabad, Gulpur, and Kotli to Murdike and Bawalpur in Punjab province of Pakistan .
The Indian strikes at the terror camps across the LoC and international border have hurt Pakistan where it hurts the most. It had constructed the terror infrastructure in all these places, named by the officers at Wednesday morning’s briefing, to use terrorism as its foreign policy tool. This is not the case with India alone, though the country has borne the maximum brunt of Pakistan’s terror training camps, launch pads and infiltration and subsequent attacks for the pas over three decades, many other countries, including the US, has been victim of this. The 9/11 that changed the way America looked at terrorism in other parts of the world was also traced to Pakistan. Osama bin Laden, supreme of the global terror network, responsible for 9/11, was picked up from Pakistan.
This strike, as is clear from the MEA briefing , had also become imperative as Pahalgam terror attack had attempted to disrupt the journey of peace of Jammu and Kashmir as also cause communal discord in the UT and the rest of the Indian nation . And, then, there, of course the planning that these camps were doing to stage more terror attacks in the country.
In the last part of the briefing, a stern message has been delivered that any misadventure by Pakistan, after these strikes, would result in escalation of the situation.
