India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack 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.

After the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan.

After this, on May 10, an understanding of the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan was announced.

EAM Jaishankar is on an official visit to the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany from May 19 to 24.

Earlier during his visit to the Netherlands, EAM Jaishankar had highlighted India's resolve against terrorism.

In an interview with Dutch daily de Volkskrant, EAM said, "We want a definitive end to terrorism. Our message is therefore: yes, the ceasefire has put an end to military actions against each other for now, but if the terrorist attacks from Pakistan continue, there will be consequences. The Pakistanis must understand that very well."

Jaishankar also held a productive meeting in Copenhagen on Wednesday (local time) with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen to advance Indo-Danish relations.

During the discussions, Jaishankar also lauded Denmark's solidarity and its support for India's fight against terrorism.

Strong diplomacy by Dr. Jaishankar! 👏 It's high time the world recognizes Pakistan's role in sponsoring terrorism. Operation Sindoor was a necessary response after Pahalgam. Hope Germany and EU nations put more pressure on Pakistan to dismantle terror infrastructure.

While I appreciate our strong stance against terrorism, I hope we're also focusing on building stronger economic ties with Europe. Trade and technology partnerships can create jobs back home. Terrorism discussions are important but shouldn't overshadow other opportunities.

Germany is a key partner in Europe. Good to see our foreign minister engaging with their parliament members. But will this translate into actual action? Many European countries still have soft approach towards Pakistan despite their terror record.

Operation Sindoor showed we won't tolerate attacks on our soil. But we must be careful not to escalate tensions too much. War benefits no one. Hope diplomatic channels remain open while keeping our borders secure. 🙏

Jaishankar is doing great work representing India abroad. But I wish our media would cover more about the economic discussions with Europe too. Terrorism is important, but so are trade deals and technology transfers that can boost Make in India.

The world needs to understand our perspective better. When 26 innocent lives are lost in Pahalgam, we can't just issue statements. Action was needed. Glad our minister is explaining this clearly to international partners. More power to Indian diplomacy! 🇮🇳
