Operation Sindoor will go down in history as a “war” that achieved its goal, Governor R.N. Ravi said here on Sunday. The war was precise and swift, he added, calling it a watershed moment for India.
“The 88-hour ‘war’ could have ended earlier, but for Pakistan, which escalated it. We only wanted to teach them a lesson. We exercised restraint by attacking terror camps alone. The absolute clarity at the political, policy, and execution level was a rare combination that enabled us to achieve success,” he said, adding that India was only responding to the terror attack on innocent civilians at Pahalgam in Kashmir.
By destroying Pakistan’s critical air bases and making them non-operational, India had dealt a blow to Pakistan’s efforts. Unlike the wars fought by Ukraine and Russia, and Iran and Israel, India’s was precise and swift, he said.
India had busted the claim that terrorists functioned autonomously, Mr. Ravi said, adding that there was no distinction between terrorists and Pakistan military.
He said the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, which was ‘unfair’ to India, was a bold move.
