‘India’s Action Were Measured, Non-Escalatory’: Govt Tell Rajya Sabha
Earlier today, Minster of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh submitted a written response to a query regarding Operation Sindoor in the Rajya Sabha.
MoS said that Operation Sindoor was launched in response to a “barbaric” attack by “Pakistan-sponsored terrorists”, and that it was “focused on dismantling terror infrastructure and neutralising terrorists likely to be sent across to India.” He added that Pakistan, however, tried to target civilian areas as well as military facilities.
“These provocations and escalatory actions by Pakistan were met with a strong and decisive response from the Indian armed forces, inflicting significant damage on the Pakistani military. Subsequently, on 10 May, 2025, the Director General of Military Operations of Pakistan approached his Indian counterpart to request for cessation of firing and military activities, which was agreed to later that day,” the MoS said.
Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Lal Suman had also questioned the Centre about the impact of “sudden ceasefire announcement” on the morale of the Indian forces. He said that the forces were “achieving significant success”, but suddenly “declaring ceasefire was against their morale and the sentiments of the people of the country”.
In a separate query, the government was asked whether it has “formally raised concerns” with the US on the continued military aid and arms supplies to Pakistan, which could be “misused against India”. The MEA was also asked whether India has taken “diplomatic steps” to counter “growing China–Pakistan military cooperation, particularly in PoK”.
