Operation Sindoor: A Defining Moment in India's Anti-Terror Strategy

In a bold statement to the lower house, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh disclosed that Pakistan conceded defeat during Operation Sindoor on May 10 and sought a ceasefire. Singh made it clear that the operation is merely on pause and India will resume its strategic military action if Pakistan instigates further hostilities.

The Defence Minister recounted the critical moments when the Indian Air Force launched significant strikes on multiple Pakistani airfields, leading Pakistan to offer a cessation of hostilities. Singh iterated that the offer was accepted with the condition that the operation could resume if necessary, marking a vital victory in terms of military strength and morale.

Highlighting the targeted nature of Operation Sindoor, Singh explained India's focused military strategy to eliminate terrorist sanctuaries within Pakistan without harming civilians. He praised the Indian Armed Forces' precision strikes on terror infrastructure, supported by the country's elite air defense systems, which in turn forced Pakistan into seeking peace, recognizing India's stronghold in the regional power dynamics.
