As Indian Armed Forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, carrying out precision strikes on nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Embassy in the US has come out with a statement explaining the rationale behind this deadly strike in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians in Jammu & Kashmir on April 22 in a brutal and heinous attack.
It was highlighted that India has credible leads, technical inputs, testimony of the survivors and other evidences pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in the Pahalgam terror attack.
Contrary to the expectations that Pakistan would act against terrorists and the infrastructure that supports them, Pakistan has indulged in denial and made allegations of false flag operations against India during the fortnight that has gone by.
Under ‘Operation Sindoor’ Indian actions have been focused and precise and the strikes on terror sites in Pakistan were measured, responsible and designed to be non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani civilian, economic or military targets have been hit. Only known terror camps were targeted.
Shortly after the strikes, NSA Shri Ajit Doval spoke with US NSA and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and briefed him on the actions taken.
