'Operation Sindoor is not over, world and Pakistan has to accept this'

NEW DELHI: Operation Sindoor is far from over, top government sources have said, asserting that India is now operating under a “new normal” that both the world and Pakistan must accept. “If they fire, we will fire. If they attack, we will attack,” said a source familiar with the developments, reported ANI.

The offensive under Operation Sindoor was designed with three clear objectives: military, political, and psychological.

On the military front, India has “reduced to dust” terror launchpads in Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Muzaffarabad, as reported by ANI. “PM Modi said ‘mitti me mila denge’ and we did just that,” a source said, as quoted by ANI.

Politically, the Indus Waters Treaty , long considered a cornerstone of India-Pakistan relations, has now been linked to terrorism. “It will remain in abeyance until cross-border terror stops,” a source reportedly said.

Psychologically, India has delivered a blow “deep inside their heart.” “We hit them where it hurts. This is a new message: ‘ghus ke maarenge’,” the source added.

Crucially, there have been no diplomatic talks between the two countries' NSAs or foreign ministers, as per the reports. Communication has been limited to military-to-military contact through the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs).

“Pakistan is not in this league anymore. They lost in every round. Our strikes made it clear — no one is safe. This is the new normal,” the sources said.
