Pakistan rejects Indian claims on ‘Operation Sindoor’
In a strongly worded response to the Indian Parliament’s recent debate on “Operation Sindoor,” Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has categorically rejected the claims made by Indian leaders, labelling them as baseless, provocative, and an attempt to distort facts. The statement accuses India of unprovoked aggression, failure in achieving military objectives, and misusing the narrative for domestic political gains.
Responding to media queries, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Pakistan “categorically rejects the baseless assertions and provocative claims made by Indian leaders during the Lok Sabha debate on the so-called ‘Operation Sindoor’.” According to the statement, the Indian account is not only factually incorrect but also reflects a dangerous trend of glorifying conflict.
The spokesperson asserted that India targeted Pakistani territory during the night of May 6-7, 2025, under the pretext of destroying terrorist infrastructure. However, the attack allegedly resulted in the deaths of innocent civilians, including women and children, without any credible evidence or investigation into the Pahalgam attack, which India claims triggered its military response.
The statement further claimed that Pakistan’s defense response effectively neutralized Indian fighter jets and military assets, portraying it as a strategic failure for India. It also questioned the timing of the killing of the alleged perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack, suggesting a possible link to the political narrative around the Lok Sabha debate.
Refuting Indian Home Minister’s statements regarding “Operation Mahadev” and Pakistan’s supposed “nuclear blackmail,” the spokesperson dismissed the allegations as fabrications and misdirection, intended to shift the blame for regional instability.
Pakistan also condemned Indian remarks on the Indus Waters Treaty, stating that India’s suspension of the treaty undermines international agreements and regional cooperation. The spokesperson warned that such unilateral decisions damage the fabric of diplomacy and international law.
Reaffirming its stance, Pakistan reiterated its commitment to peace, dialogue, and the resolution of all outstanding disputes, particularly the Jammu and Kashmir issue, while warning it would decisively counter any future aggression.
The statement concluded with a call for India to abandon its reliance on disinformation and militarism, emphasizing that peace and regional stability can only be achieved through mutual respect, adherence to international law, and honest engagement.
