India Briefs UAE, Japan on "Operation Sindoor" and Pakistan-Backed Terror
Indian all-party delegations have initiated a global outreach to countries including Japan and the UAE, briefing them on "Operation Sindoor" and persistent cross-border terrorism originating from Pakistan. Led by MPs Sanjay Jha and Shrikant Shinde respectively, the delegations aim to articulate India's stance on self-defense and garner international support against state-sponsored terrorism. This follows India's response to the Pahalgam terror attack and involves engagement with several Asian nations.
Unpacked:
Operation Sindoor was a series of precision strikes by Indian armed forces on terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Unlike previous symbolic actions, these strikes targeted core terror hubs and aimed to inflict real material damage, establishing a new precedent of assured retaliation for terror attacks originating from Pakistani soil.
Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which resulted in the deaths of 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen. The operation was intended to hold those responsible accountable and to deter further cross-border terrorism.
Indian delegations are engaging with countries including Japan and the UAE, as well as other Asian nations. The goal is to brief them on Operation Sindoor, articulate India’s stance on self-defense, and garner international support against state-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan, thereby increasing diplomatic pressure on Islamabad[summary].
After India released evidence of effective strikes, Pakistan admitted to casualties and responded with counterattacks, resulting in a brief military confrontation. This escalation was more intense than previous incidents, with both sides targeting more sites and using greater force, but India maintained it did not target Pakistani military facilities.
