Thank you North of India, for keeping India safe. It’s because of you all that we in the southern part of the country are sleeping without any worry.
We live in privilege of being far away from the border, but we shall pray for your safety today. A united India is what will defeat the enemy.
Had a telecon with DPM & FM @Antonio_Tajani of Italy.
Discussed India’s targeted and measured response to firmly counter terrorism. Any escalation will see a strong response.
🇮🇳 🇮🇹
It is in times like these that the world witnesses the true strength and unity of India, forged as much in her sameness, as in her diversity. We stand in unwavering solidarity and are committed to supporting our armed forces as they defend the soul of our motherland and the spirit of our ideals. #IndiaFirst
Jai Hind!
Spoke with US @SecRubio this evening.
Deeply appreciate US commitment to work with India in the fight against terrorism.
Underlined India’s targeted and measured response to cross-border terrorism. Will firmly counter any attempts at escalation.
🇮🇳 🇺🇸
Discussed ongoing developments with EU HRVP @kajakallas .
India has been measured in its actions. However, any escalation will get a firm response.
🇮🇳 🇪🇺
Terrorists launched an attack that killed dozens of Indian citizens. India had every right to retaliate and defend itself.
Pakistan does not get to play the victim. No country gets a pass for supporting terrorist activity.
A problem we’re seeing with a lot of western analysis is they assume a repetition of the same old patterns - Pakistan escalates - India has to limit retaliation & accept a token re-retaliation and so provide an “off ramp”.
The issue is, Pakistan should have thought of an off ramp before starting this. India is now playing the role pakistan did in previous crises. The Pakistanis have never been in that situation, where they have to accept India having the final hit & the “experts” haven’t adjusted to the new realities either - esp the role reversal/usurpation…. or they have & are trying desperately to re-foist old realities.
Spoke to our Intel folks & confirmed with an air defence commander in Amritsar. At least two of the artillery rockets (and possibly some of the drones) intercepted yesterday were on a trajectory to hit the Golden Temple.
This is curious because Pakistanis have carefully avoided targeting Sikhs for the last 25 years. Their strategy was to keep both the Khalistan & Kashmir insurgencies boiling. A strike on the Golden Temple therefore makes no sense.
The initial Intel assessment is that they wanted to blame India for it, claiming we used their shelling, drone and rocket strikes to destroy the golden temple. Apparently some phone/whatsapp chatter was picked up indicated coordination with Khalistani “activists” in Canada, US, UK & India to start a tweet storm accusing India of blowing up the golden temple & incite some riots in India.
The blackouts in Amritsar yesterday were a last ditch attempt to prevent/preempt any drone from hitting the Golden Temple
P.S drone paths are impossible to predict as they don’t follow a trajectory like rockets do. Hence the uncertainty about their intended target - just that their flight path was en route to the temple .
@curiosweetie Could you make the same list for the so-called celebrity Cricketers, especially active players who represent the BCCI.
I didn't see anyone posting support for yesterday's operation, except Jaddu.

@Akshat_World "Hey, just wanted to clarify that Italy is just one of the 50 countries in Europe. It's important to remember that there are many other countries in the continent." And stop your hypocrisy against India.
