the relationship between India and Pakistan, how we handle terrorism and Pakistan has changed drastically in the last six to eight hours it is important to talk about Army press conference will also come soon and they will give details about cross border action Right now it is important to talk about as misinformation is also spreading How the definition of war has changed, we will talk about that And what happened in the last few hours is also important to talk about. People all over the world are now finding out how India took revenge of the Pahalgam If Pulwama's revenge came in Balakot after 12 days, then Pahalgam's revenge comes exactly after 2 weeks. In the form of not 1 attack but 9 targets.
9 targets were chosen. It is called Anti-Terror Action. The terrorists who facilitate terrorism have been chosen.
Pakistan government is saying you targeted the civilians, we said we targeted your terror launchpads Press release comes at around 2 am We have been tracking this in the night, and the misinformation from Pakistan PIB said in press note at 2 am, that Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor It is a significant name, given the widowers after the Pahalgam attack, so this is emotional Not only PoK but targets were attacked inside Pakistan too beyond international border The government has underlined that our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature We don't want this to become a war but we had to do it because we had to answer the terrorists So, the government is clearly saying that no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and the method of execution. So that there is no direct attack on the Pakistan army It is clear that the terrorists who killed 25 Indians and a Nepali citizen are responsible for this target Selection of targets was interesting Muridke is considered turf of Lashkar e Taiba Bahawalpur is Jaish-e-Mohammed, turf of Maulana Masood Azhar His mosque was targeted, that is what initial reports say Muridke, Bahawalpur, Mehmoona which is turf of Hizbul Mujahideen Kotli where bomber training happens either the terror hotbed has been targeted or the place where terror was facilitated, or used as launch pad But what is very interesting not only LOC, but international border Pakistan can say that. .
. because if you look where Bahawalpur is It is in Punjab, Pakistan So, the action was taken quite centrally. Pakistan did not expect this.
So, the action was taken quite largely. Multiple targets have been selected. The reports that are coming in, 8 people have been killed.
I am telling you from Pakistani sources. 8 people have been killed in Pakistan. 35 injured.
24 missiles as far as Pakistan is claiming, 24 missiles were launched So, the confirmation is from Pakistan as well. And it is very important to talk about this right now because we have tried to find out in a measured manner in 5-6 hours, what are the right visuals and what are wrong There are a lot of wrong visuals but we can tell you about 2-3 visuals that are looking confirmed. This is the visual from Muridke where the mosque was targeted So this is one visual that we are getting from Muridke.
Another interesting visual we are getting from Bahawalpur is of this missile strike. Now, there is a debate on whether this is an oil tanker explosion or not. But experts are saying that the sound of the missile being fired is clearly audible So, it seems to be genuine.
We have not been able to prove it wrong yet. One more visual proof is that the injured are being taken to Pakistan The local and national media is saying that civilians were injured As we have said earlier, if we want to respond to terrorism, Pakistan crossed a red line too in 25 years When militancy was at its peak then also tourists were not targeted Pakistan has crossed a red line so the government has taken a chance to target terrorism This is a big thing. But these are some visuals that are still confirmed.
Before we come to the paradigm shift, let's see the reaction of Pakistan and how India played this Embassy of India in Washington released this statement We took into consideration technical inputs, testimonials that Pakistan was involved We thought that Pakistan would raise voice against terrorists and terrorist infrastructure but it did not. So, notice the words that have been used in America as well. measured, responsible and non-escalatory in measure.
Now, you understand why India played this game in America and how important is the timing in this Why is this being done when Donald Trump is coming to the Oval Office in America? Listen to what Trump uncle is saying. So Donald Trump clearly knew that this was going to happen.
And this is probably a part of the strategy. The strategy was to make US tell Pakistan to clamp down the terrorists who killed civilians India has retaliated, now you stand down The question is, will Pakistan stand down now? Because, as far as Balakot is concerned, there was deniability.
That, this attack was not even a real attack. And how powerful is misinformation? When facts are denied, like Kargil never happened, we were not involved with terrorists Terror is not even on our land.
Osama was not on our land. So, somewhere there is a very strong belief system that we do not do anything wrong. So, will Pakistan answer or not after this?
Will America maintain pressure on Pakistan? It doesn't seem like Pakistan is in a mood to keep quiet right now. But sometimes when you give a response, the confirmation comes from you.
So this was such a successful attack where Pakistan was completely denying Balakot. That nothing happened, the missile didn't explode, we didn't get any damage, it was just a tree that fell. This time, Pakistan is in a state of panic.
This basic line is very important. This line is important because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan itself is saying that our fighters did not cross the line of control. But on the other hand, the Pakistani media is saying that not one fighter, not two fighters, not five fighters I saw Hamid Mir recently.
. . six Indian fighters have been down When we did not cross your line of control, how are you killing our fighters?
Secondly standoff weapons were used earlier we had to enter Pakistan to strike we can now attack aerial even while being away from Pakistan, while being in Indian airspace, and we can strike deep into their territories. So this thing must be shocking Pakistan a lot. Although Pakistan is saying that we have already dropped a lot of fighters Now here you can see the confirmation that in Muridke, Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad and Kotli, Pakistan has confirmed that there have been attacks.
And don't know why, they are facing a lot of problems. That it has also caused grave threat to commercial air traffic. So, if commercial air traffic was to be operated properly, then the terror launch pads should have been shut down.
So, this has been tried to blame India on this So, Pakistan will not back down so easily. It is understood by their PM Shehbaz Sharif That is half the problem You are always behind the armed forces. The armed forces are uncontrolled, they need to be under your control You control General Munir, not stand behind him.
General Munir does the opposite, might make his grip stronger The question is what Pakistan will do now. Second, how is the paradigm shift? The paradigm shift is because when we did the surgical strike in Balakot, we did one strike and Pakistan denied We thought that we will only do terror on launchpad and terrorists.
No civilian casualty should happen So we chose Balakot which was a difficult target. This time when you chose easy targets, attacked tourists, we thought we would also choose clear, easy and loud targets That's why mobile footage is coming out slowly. It was also coming out at 2 in the night.
That this time you cannot deny the attack. As far as civilians death is concerned, it is never a good thing. But when the Pakistani terrorists crossed the Rubicon, collateral damage is acceptable.
We have said in the last 5-6 episodes that if you take action against Pakistan, it has to be disproportionate If you are going after terrorists, then some damage is acceptable It seems that the government has accepted that there will be civilian casualties. But the bigger thing is that we have a paradigm shift. Because till now, after Uri, we said that we will go for a surgical strike, insert our forces and attack the terror launch pads After that we said that we will go to Balakot and we will destroy the terror factory deep inside Pakistan.
But now, will we see this and it is being said that this is not the only attack, there will be more attacks. So this means that wherever there will be a Pakistani terrorist, we will go after them Remember, Maulana Masood Azhar was seen in Bahawalpur a few days ago. Although Pakistan says that we don't have this international designated terrorist, but these international designated terrorists are roaming around So, you keep Osama Bin Laden in your country and after that if we do missile strike you don't need to cry Have we come to the phase that just like America, we can enter and attack Pakistani terrorists This opens up a new paradigm.
Tri-Services had coordinated well and attacked. Our loitering munitions and our Rafales have been of great use. We have benefited a lot from the hammer and scalp missiles that have been deployed inside them.
We have definitely seen this in the retaliation Although, if you look at Pakistani media and Hamid Mir's tweets, we have already lost 6 fighters. We have no evidence. Even their defence minister has given wrong information to the international publications That they retaliated and explosion in Srinagar happened But Pakistan is not sitting quiet.
They have already started firing on the Line of Control. And we have heard that some of our people have been killed. So firing across the Line of Control is on.
All flights towards the border areas have been cancelled. Srinagar airport is definitely not opening. It will remain closed for a couple of days Lahore airport is also being closed.
So the situation is tense. Drlls are underway. War games will continue at the border Pakistan is not providing clarity.
Because if their ministers and senior ministers spread misinformation, it will be difficult. Army press conference will be held soon. We will keep bringing that information to the Deshbhakt.
But as we said in our previous episode two things still need to be done. We have to answer Pakistan but also ask ourselves If we are answering Pakistan, then the second question is also on us. Where are the terrorists who attacked in Pahalgam?
Why haven't we found them yet? What are our ground forces, ground intelligence, satellite intelligence doing? We will have to ask questions about that as well.
Remember, maybe our biggest mistake after Pulwama was we took revenge by surgical strike but the unanswered questions like the security lapse, how RDX came here we did not try to answer those questions Question ourselves on the home front. We have answered Pakistan, will Pakistan sit quietly? It all depends on pawpaw America to ask Pakistan to sit quietly Pakistan has a bowl to beg for money.
IMF is sitting in a meeting IMF will decide whether or not to give money If America wants, Pakistan funding can stop Financial Action Task Force, Pakistan can be put in on the terror watch list. So if America is putting pressure on Pakistan now, then maybe they won't be able to retaliate. Now it's a matter to be seen if Pakistan can be stopped from retaliating or if they will do some other misadventure to show their machismo So the situation is quite fluid now.
But I will request one thing to all the patriots, please We have taken clips after double checking, even then it may be wrong don't assume that the fighters fell, Pakistan is finished, air force finished as social media claims. But it is not the end India has conducted a strike, but will Pakistan sit quietly or declare a full on fight It will be very harmful for both the countries. We are watching the situation.
We will get you all the latest.
