India Criticizes Chinese Support for Pakistan in Operation Sindoor

India has openly criticized China for its confirmed support to Pakistan during the recent military skirmish involving Operation Sindoor, linking it to the ongoing tension over terrorist havens. New Delhi urged responsible nations to contemplate the impact of siding with nations shielding terrorist frameworks.

Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the External Affairs Ministry, emphasized that Operation Sindoor was a deliberate and tactical retaliation against the terror assault in Pahalgam, addressing structures used for fostering terrorism from Pakistan's territory. He noted that countries claiming responsibility should ponder the ramifications on their global image when aiding such endeavors.

China's state media revealed that technical support was provided to Pakistan during the conflict, with Zhang Heng, an engineer from AVIC, playing a key role. This revelation comes amid increasing calls to scrutinize the China-Pakistan military alliance, a tie perceived as exceedingly deep and strategic, especially with Pakistan's heavy reliance on Chinese military equipment.
