NSA Doval debunks distorted foreign reportage on 'Operation Sindoor'

Ajit Doval challenges Western media's false claims on Operation Sindoor, citing satellite proof of Pakistan's destroyed terror bases.

"You give me one photograph, one image, which shows any damage done to any Indian (structure), even a glass pane having been broken. – Ajit Doval"

New Delhi, July 11

National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on Friday delivered a sharp rebuke at the distorted reportage of 'Operation Sindoor', by the foreign media and also dared it to come up with any credible image of damages on the Indian side.

NSA Doval, speaking at the 62nd convention of IIT-Madras, saluted the Indian armed forces for executing the precision military strikes on Pakistan’s terror factories in just 23 minutes and lambasted the international media for its misleading and twisted coverage.

"Foreign press said that Pakistan did this and that. You give me one photograph, one image, which shows any damage done to any Indian (structure), even a glass pane having been broken," he said.

Questioning the credibility of Western media reportage, Doval said the satellite imageries were a resounding proof of what happened between May 6 to May 10 but the foreign outlets kept harping on damages on the Indian side, despite not been able to show images of damages, even a glass pane.

“These satellite imageries are all over the world. They (New York Times and others) brought out images and put out things...The images only showed that 13 air bases in Pakistan before and after May 10 were destroyed, whether it was in Sargodha or Rahim Yar Khan or Chaklala,” he added.

He further said, “I am only telling you what the foreign media put out on the basis of imageries – where are the damages. We are capable of doing that (destroying terror bases and inflicting damages on Pakistani air bases)," he added.

Indian security forces launched 'Operation Sindoor' in the intervening night of May 6-May 7, decimating nine terror camps including the headquarters of LeT and Hizbul Mujahidden, inside Pakistan as well as Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK).

The military strikes were in response to ghastly terror strikes in Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, where Pakistan-sponsored terrorists killed 26 people.

The operation triggered an intense military face-off between the two Nuclear-armed nations, with both sides launching drone and military strikes. Indian forces inflicted heavy damages on at least 11 Pakistani air bases, as depicted by the satellite images in ‘before and after’ images.

However, a couple of foreign media outlets reported about ‘serious damages’ on the Indian side including downing of fighter jets, though no visual proof of the same surfaced.

The precision of our armed forces is remarkable - 23 minutes operation! But why does international media always doubt India's capabilities? They never question Pakistan's terror factories.

While I support our forces, I wish the government would release more evidence directly to Indian media first. We shouldn't have to rely on foreign reports and then rebuttals.

Operation Sindoor was a masterstroke! 👏 The way our forces targeted only terror camps shows our professionalism. Pakistan can keep denying but satellite images don't lie.

Foreign media will never understand what we go through in Kashmir because of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. 26 innocent lives lost in Pahalgam - that's the real story they should cover.

Doval sir spoke like a true patriot! But we must also strengthen our own media diplomacy. Why are we always reacting to foreign narratives instead of setting them ourselves?

The name 'Operation Sindoor' itself gives me goosebumps! So symbolic of India's strength and sovereignty. Jai Hind! 💪 Our forces make us proud every single day.
