Jaishankar (@DrSJaishankar) May 26, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD According to sources, the panel was informed that the Government wanted to go for high-value targets and hit them early. The strikes had an impact on the credibility and morale of the Pakistani Armed Forces. The fact that they were incapable of protecting these terror epicentres had exposed them. The Panel was informed that apart from three countries, no one had criticised India's position on Operation Terror. All nations appreciated India's stand against terror. There was a great appreciation of India's right to defend itself. In this context, the statement recently made by the German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul was highlighted. Wadephul, while addressing a joint briefing with EAM Jaishankar in Berlin on May 23 said that India had every right to defend itself against terrorism. 'We were appalled by the brutal terrorist attack on India on the 22nd of April. We condemned this attack on civilians in the strongest terms. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all victims and their families. After military attacks on both sides, India, of course, has every right to defend itself against terrorism. The fact that the truce is now in place is something we appreciate very much. What is important now is that this truce remains stable, that dialogue can happen in order to find bilateral solutions for that conflict, taking into account the vital interests of both sides. Germany and India have been fostering a regular dialogue on the fight against terrorism for years, and we intend to intensify it further,' Johann Wadephul said. The controversy over EAM supposedly tipping off Pakistan was brought up by the Congress. Sources said that the government explained that there was absolutely no conversation between India and Pakistan in any manner other than Director General of Military Operation (DGMO) level, and that too only after the strikes. The sequence of events was - the terror hubs were hit and according to a release issued by the Press Information Bureau, the DGMO of India contacted the Pakistani DGMO: STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sources said that the External Affairs Minister said that the misrepresentation of this was dishonest. Recently, the Congress had questioned if the government had alerted the Pakistan side prior to Op Sindoor. The MPs wanted to know about President Trump's claims and other remarks. Sources said that the government explained that the Americans and the other countries who were encouraging India to talk to Pakistan were told that terror and talks would not go together. The government further said that the EAM had repeatedly said on record that the cessation of hostilities was achieved after the DGMOs of the two countries had spoken to each other. Sources said that EAM strongly appealed for national unity and spirit with which the parliamentary delegation went abroad same should be followed domestically On the Indus Water Treaty, the delegation wanted to know if the government was intending to continue or was it just symbolic. The government said that the treaty is in abeyance and MPs would be briefed on future steps that will be taken, sources said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sources said the EAM appealed for national unity in keeping with the spirit of the conversations that the parliamentary delegations were having in various countries' capitals. In a diplomatic outreach following Operation Sindoor, the Modi government has formed seven multi-party delegations to inform nations about Pakistan's links to terrorism, and India's strong message of zero-tolerance for terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack by Pak-sponsored terrorists in which 26 people were killed. Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen

"Pak indictrinates civilians to believe in mafia superiority"
Vienna [Austria], May 16 (ANI): Tom Cooper, Military aviation analyst and historian, said that it is a classic strategy of Pakistan to indoctrinate its people and make them believe in Pakistan mafia superiority. Cooper said that Pakistan is spreading misinformation among its civilians that Pakistan can defeat India with its fighter jets from China. 'This messaging is classic for Pakistan. Essentially, we have a situation where the country and its population has been indoctrinated to believe in Pakistani and mafia superiority vis a vis India and correspondingly military superiority vis a vis India and some kind impression that the Pakistani armed forces are invincible,' he said. 'And especially in comparison to India that India cannot defeat the Pakistani Air Force, the ground forces, navy, and Pakistan is strong and perfectly armed with latest equipment from USA and China with F-16s and GF-17s and J-10s. This latest Chinese air to air missiles and so on, and this is exactly the same,' he said. While speaking on Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and General Munir, standing on a tank for photo ops and touring a military base when they couldn't fight a frontal battle with India, Cooper said that it is a part of their lies to build the morale of the nation. 'So when they climb on the top of the tank, they must rebuild the morale and the self-confidence of nation. They are the first to know what is the actual situation. The first to know that is the title general of Pakistani Armed Forces, and the second, because he has to inform the Prime Minister, of course, so they both know they have been defeated,' he said. Cooper said that though the two know that the facts are untrue, they still declared a victory. 'They both know that related rumours, at least if not be true. The full two are going to reach the public sooner or later. Therefore, they must climb on, on the tank climb on the, the tank and declare a victory. Yeah, what is better for that purpose but standing on a tank,' he said. Cooper while talking to ANI said that India hit exactly where it hurts, even without hitting nuclear targets. 'It is fascinating to watch how Indian top military commanders have precisely, methodically, systematically targeted very selected points, not enter air bases. They're not after destroying entire bases, they're not under destroying cities, the least,' he said. 'But after striking precisely selected points at selected air bases, they could have hit anywhere almost in Pakistan, but the point was to, hit where it really hurts. And so you have, for example, you have this a trailer mounted a command site at the Noor Khan Air Base, which was smashed entirely,' Cooper added. He said that India tracked precise movements of Pakistani personnel and caught the aircrafts inside the hangar. 'Hangars has been hit with aircraft at the inside. These hangers targeted because Indian armed forces were able to follow the movement of specific Pakistani aircraft, landing, rolling into the hanger, and then there was an attack by Indian armed forces and it caught the aircraft still inside the hangar and also the personnel of the unit operating the aircraft,' he said. Cooper said that there is clear evidence of victory of Indian victory against Pakistan against Pakistani claims. 'So Indian armed forces were striking very precisely against very selected targets and there is clear evidence for success in this regards. On the contrary, by all the Pakistani claims, it is actually almost exactly like back in 2019 during the Balakot affairs. Pakistani establishment, Pakistani government, Pakistani armed forces are issuing one statement after the other, which is proven as lie,' he said. (ANI)

Abrar Ul Haq brings out fervent patriotic anthem
Singer Abrar Ul Haq has released a stirring new anthem commemorating Pakistan's recent military success against India's Operation Sindoor. The song, launched on Tuesday, serves as a tribute to the strategic brilliance and courage of the Pakistani Armed Forces following India's airstrike and Pakistan's strong retaliation with Operation Bunyan un Marsoos. In the track, Abrar narrates how Pakistan's military countered India's offensive, praising the defenders' bravery and unity. Staying true to his style, the lyrics blend nationalism with religious fervour, highlighting the spiritual conviction of Muslim soldiers. The singer also makes a pointed cultural reference: "chai pilai gayi" (tea was served), echoing the viral catchphrase from the 2019 Abhinandan episode, which has now become a symbol of pride and defiance. Musically, the song is punchy and direct. With marching drum beats, orchestral flourishes, and Abrar's signature vocal energy, it's a full-blown rallying cry. While some might find the religious undertones overly didactic, the track does exactly what it's meant to: ignite patriotic emotion. Its lack of a music video hasn't dimmed its momentum. In fact, fans say the audio alone gave them "goosebumps." Beyond its celebratory tone, the song serves as a cultural timestamp, capturing the public mood in the immediate aftermath of Pakistan's military response. Abrar Ul Haq's choice to emphasise both faith and force reflects a long-standing tradition in Pakistani patriotic music, where spirituality and nationalism often intersect. The anthem also revives the historic rivalry with India in lyrical form, evoking pride without slipping into aggression. While some critics may question the glorification of conflict, many fans view the song as a morale booster and a reminder of national unity. Social media platforms have been flooded with praise. "The Pakistan forces truly deserve such a tribute after a remarkable victory," wrote one user. Another said, "Abrar Ul Haq has captured the nation's sentiment perfectly. This is patriotism through art." Others called the track "timely," "needed," and "deeply emotional." The anthem has quickly become the unofficial soundtrack of national pride, with supporters playing it at gatherings, in vehicles, and across celebratory reels online. Abrar's anthem joins a rich tradition of Pakistani patriotic songs like Dil Dil Pakistan by Vital Signs, Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan, and Ae Watan Kay Sajeelay Jawano. These songs have historically uplifted national morale during wars, crises, and independence days, blending music with national memory and emotional resilience across generations.
