Earlier on Thursday, EAM Jaishankar highlighted that India achieved its objectives in Operation Sindoor, targeting and destroying terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan.
With an unmistakable tone, he emphasised, “It is clear who wanted cessation of firing,” reinforcing India’s stance on terrorism.
Further, he emphasised that the operation was designed to strike at terrorist infrastructure, not military targets, and India had communicated this clearly to Pakistan.
Speaking to the media on Thursday after the inaugutaion of Honduras Embassy in Delhi, he said, “It is clear who wanted cessation of firing.”
We achieved the goals which we set out to do by destroying the terrorist infrastructure. Since key goals were achieved, I think we reasonably took the position, because even at the start of the operation, we had sent a message to Pakistan saying we are striking at terrorist infrastructure and not military, and the military has an option to stand out and not interfere.”
“They chose not to take that good advice. Once they got badly hit on the morning of May 10. The satellite pictures show how much damage we did and what little damage they did. It is clear who wanted cessation of firing,” he added. (ANI)
