Sarangi, BJP MP from Bhubaneswar, also confirmed that the ceasefire resulted from 'mutual discussion and mutual deliberation' between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of Pakistan and India, thereby repudiating repeated claims of the US to have brokered the ceasefire.
The conference titled 'Decoding Operation Sindoor: New Normal, New Doctrine,' marking three months since the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, was organised by Centre for Global India Insights (CGII), a think tank focused on global affairs.

More than a month after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Sarangi travelled to Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore as part of a multi-party delegation of MPs to project India's viewpoint in the aftermath of 'Operation Sindoor. She underlined that the overarching thrust of multi-party delegations was to set the narrative straight.
In a similar vein, Priyanka Chaturvedi, MP and national spokesperson of Shiv Sena (UBT), emphasized that the purpose of the all-party delegations was to strengthen India's fight against terrorism, which remains incomplete if the international community continues to provide aid through funding mechanisms that ultimately support terrorism funded by taxpayers' money.
'This calibrated paradigm-shifting retaliation against the butchers of Pahalgam, which took barely 22 minutes, ended decades of strategic patience, ushering in a new era of offensive defence. The military strikes by India vividly sent the signal that that from now onwards, it will be blood for blood,' said Manish Chand, CEO, Centre for Global India Insights. 'Operation Sindoor is still on; India cannot afford to let its guards down. Eternal vigilance is the only way to go,' he said.
Brij Lal, a former IPS officer-turned politician, lauded bold action taken by the government in the form of Operation Sindoor and criticised previous governments who would simply 'condemn' acts of terror in the past. He emphasized that India will respond decisively to every attack on its forces and citizens. Lal, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), proposed the construction of a Sindoor memorial at Baisaran Valley as a symbol of the historic operation, which the Prime Minister agreed to under his own signature.
Former Member of Parliament. Amar Patnaik urged the audience not to view Operation Sindoor merely as a military response to an act of terror, noting that there are various ways to respond, with military action being the last resort.
Sujan Chinoy, Director General, Manohar Parrikar Institute of Defence Studies and Analyses who also travalled to different countries, as part of multi-party delegations, emphasized the importance of traditional intelligence gathering, building secure communication, and relying on domestic real-time location updates. He called for the development of domestic standards and certification of defense equipment to truly make India 'Atmanirbhar' in the defence sector.
Calling for enhanced readiness to prepare for the spectrum of conflict, not only conventional but also cyber, grey-zone, Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Syed Ata Hasnain underlined that Operation Sindoor was not a reactive action, but part of a well-thought-out effort to shape the battle space. This is deterrence by punishment, yes, but also by denial, deception, and disruption.'
Air Vice Marshal (Retd.) Anil Golani, Director General, Centre for Air Power Studies (CAPS) pointed out that India achieved not only tactical success but also psychological ascendancy from Operation Sindoor. 'Our adversaries, and even our allies, now recalibrate their perception of India's threshold,' he said. He called for strengthening jointness among the tri-services, stating that the future demands integration not only of command structures but also of narratives, data, and objectives.
