For over three decades Pakistan-born and bred terrorists have struck across the world, with impunity and with very little consequence to the state who uses them as assets
But for the heroism of assistant sub-inspector Tukaram Omble, who, armed with just a lathi, threw himself at Ajmal Kasab amid a hail of gunfire at a police check post during the 26/11 attack on Mumbai, thus enabling his police colleagues to capture the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist, Pakistan, aka Terroristan aka Denialistan, might still have managed to hoodwink the world about its depredations in India – and indeed across the globe.
For years, going back to multiple attacks on Mumbai, including serial bomb blasts that killed scores, to the attack on India's Parliament in New Delhi and the Akshardham temple in Gujarat, Pakistan maintained a facade of deniability about its role in terrorist attacks in India and across the world. This was made possible because its proxies and perpetrators either died in suicide attacks or escaped. 26/11 was different.

Congress's Nana Patole likens Op Sindoor to children's computer game, BJP responds
Former Maharashtra Congress chief and MLA Nana Patole has likened Operation Sindoor to "computer games played by children," citing US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of stopping the war."US President Trump said multiple times that he threatened both nations (India and Pakistan) that they (US) would stop trade with them, so they should call a ceasefire. Operation Sindoor was stopped with his signal. It means that this was a game that was played just like computer games played by children," he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. advertisementHighlighting that Pakistan-backed terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack are still at large, Patole asked, "Why did the PM not speak about the terrorists who wiped off the 'sindoor' of our sisters? That is a question for the people of the country." "Why did the PM not speak about the terrorists who wiped off the 'sindoor' of our sisters? That is a question for the people of the country," he added.'HAVE SOME SHAME': BJP REACTSPatole's remarks stirred a huge row, with the BJP claiming that they highlighted that the "Congress is hand in glove with Pakistan".Calling it an insult to the Operation, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule took to X and wrote, 'Congress leader Nana Patole has once again proved that Congress is hand in glove with Pakistan by making an objectionable statement that 'Operation Sindoor is a computer game'."advertisementMaharashtra BJP MLA Chitra Wagh lashed out at the senior Congress leader, pointing out that his real agenda was to spread hatred "in the name of love."

While mocking Operation Sindoor by calling it a children's computer game, did you not remember the sindoor (vermilion) wiped off the foreheads of our mothers and sisters killed in the Pahalgam attack?," she asked."Defaming Prime Minister Modi and spreading hate in the name of love -- that's your real agenda. Time and again, you prove the saying true: "The hand of Congress is with terrorism," she further said.'Nana, Operation Sindoor is not a computer game, but it is a brave and courageous action against the terrorist bases of Pakistan. It is a burning tale of valour that will instil fear in the hearts of traitors!," he Reel
