He highlighted how the world has clearly heard India’s perspective on fighting the menace of terrorism through Operation Sindoor.” Initiating the debate on Operation Sindoor, the Defense minister said India can go to any extent to uproot terrorism.
He said that Operation Sindoor launched to target terror sites in Pakistan is on pause as the armed forces achieved the desired objectives, but could resume in case of any misadventure by Islamabad.
Meanwhile, Jaishankar said the result of India’s diplomatic efforts post-Pahalgam attack was that only three out of 190 nations which are part of the UN opposed Operation Sindoor.
There was overwhelming support that the country which has been attacked has the right to defend itself, the EAM said. PTI KR NB NB NB
