New Delhi, May 11
The Centre, in a special briefing on 'Operation Sindoor' on Saturday, called out Pakistan’s brazen attempt to escalate the matter by repeatedly targeting India’s military as well as civilian centres and also slammed the state-sponsored propaganda machinery for spewing canards. The briefing also assured the nation that all of Pakistan's nefarious attempts had been thwarted by the alert Indian military.
In the Press briefing, helmed by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Army Colonel Sofiya Qureshi said that Pakistan has been continuously attacking India’s western borders with drones, long-range weapons, loitering munitions and also fighter jets to target Indian military sites.
Pointing to a particular escalation, she informed that a high-speed missile was launched by Pakistan at 1.40 am, last night to target an air base in Punjab, in clear violation of the international norms.
The 'Operation Sindoor' briefing team collectively held Pakistan responsible for the escalation, while stating that India acted in a measured and calibrated manner to destroy terror hubs but Pakistan was deliberately targeting civilian and military infrastructure on the Indian side.
They also informed that certain health facilities and school premises were targeted in last night's escalation by Pakistani forces.
Vikram Misri further called out Pakistan’s lies and propaganda factory and stated that the state machinery was involved in peddling a fake narrative and also urged everyone to not pay heed to it.
