Triservice officers offer insight into Operation Sindoor on KBC
Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Commander Prerna Deosthalee on Friday offered viewers a rare inside look at Operation Sindoor, India's counterterror mission launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, during a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Triservice officers offer insight into Operation Sindoor on KBC Wing Commander Singh detailed the precision strikes that crippled terrorist infrastructure. 'We attacked in the interiors of the enemy to break their backs. The hands of those who watered the cactus of terrorism were broken. Twenty-one terror camps were recognised. Nine camps were finalised, and the game was done in 25 minutes,' she said. Colonel Qureshi explained the targets. 'Bahawalpur was the headquarters of the Jaish-e-Mohammed, from where terrorists who attacked Pathankot and Pahalgam were trained; Muridke had the headquarters of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, where Ajmal Kasab and David Headley were trained. Therefore, we had to destroy those places.' Singh added that terrorist camps operated under the cover of civilians. 'We are a peace-loving nation and want to live in synergy with our neighbours. Our next-gen tech weapons were so advanced now that we made the operation possible without any civilian fatalities.' Qureshi emphasised that the mission reflected a whole-of-nation approach involving the government and armed forces. Commander Deosthalee outlined the Navy's role. 'The Navy was battle-ready. We managed the trade routes to stabilise the economy and also ensured deterrence, as a dual job. We also protected the maritime borders as there were anti-national elements that entered in the past. Being part in this mission is a matter of pride and honour.' She described naval warfare as '360 degrees of uncertainty with no room for error in the middle of the endless sea without borders,' adding, 'When we strike, we strike in a manner that the enemy would remember forever.' The officers also credited local citizens for their role in rescue efforts after the Pahalgam attack, recalling the bravery shown despite the loss of Navy officer Vinay Narwal. On the preparedness of the armed forces, Singh said they were in 'offence mode.' Qureshi revealed that Pakistan had sent 300–400 drones, both armed and unarmed. 'They sent unarmed drones to scan India's weapon and defence capability around the Line of Control and the international border. But the Army Air Defence successfully disabled their attempts,' she said. Highlighting women's participation, Qureshi noted that over 100 women are involved in Operation Sindoor, trained on par with their male counterparts. 'This enabled them to handle the operations seamlessly.' Singh added, 'A weapon or a fighter aircraft doesn't distinguish between males and females.'

SAD rebel faction seeks reopening of Kartarpur Corridor
1 2 Amritsar: On the occasion of India's 79th Independence Day, Harpreet Singh, president of the reorganised Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), invoked the painful legacy of Partition, calling it a "religious injustice" that continues to haunt Sikhs. Addressing a gathering, Harpreet Singh said Punjab and Bengal bore the brunt of India's freedom struggle, only to be brutally divided in 1947. "While Delhi celebrated, Punjab burned. The British departure unleashed a wave of hatred that claimed nearly a million lives. Children were butchered, and elders and women, unable to bear the horror, took their own lives," he said. He lamented that Sikhs were forced to abandon their sacred gurdwaras in Pakistan and resettle in Punjab in India. "We left behind our soul," he said, referring to revered shrines such as Sri Nankana Sahib, Gurdwara Panja Sahib, Kartarpur Sahib, Dera Sahib in Lahore, and Sacha Sauda. "Even today, Sikhs cannot freely visit these sites. The Kartarpur Corridor gave us hope, but it too became a victim of politics and diplomatic tensions. " Drawing a comparison, Harpreet Singh said, "Muslims can go for Hajj without visa denials or border restrictions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo But a Sikh must beg for a visa to bow before Guru Nanak Dev Ji's birthplace. This is religious injustice on a global scale." He also spoke of elderly Sikhs who died with unfulfilled dreams of revisiting their childhood homes across the border, and similarly, elders in Pakistan who longed to return to ancestral villages in India. "Those responsible for this pain will never find peace—not even after death. The souls of the 10 lakh martyrs will not rest until justice is done," he said. Appeal to reopen Kartarpur Corridor ahead of Jyoti Jot Diwas In a related statement, officiating Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Kuldip Singh Gargaj urged the central government to reopen the Kartarpur Corridor ahead of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Jyoti Jot Diwas. He recalled the horrors of 1947, when Punjab witnessed massacres and displacement. "Sikhs on the western side of Punjab lost their fertile lands and over 200 sacred gurdwaras, including Sri Nankana Sahib. This grief is embedded in our daily prayers," he said. The corridor, opened during the 550th Prakash Gurpurb of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, had enabled emotional reunions at Kartarpur Sahib. However, recent Indo-Pak tensions led to its closure. "With Jyoti Jot Diwas approaching, reopening the corridor would allow the sangat to pay homage at this sacred site. We urge the government to act swiftly," he said.
