Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday confirmed that BrahMos missiles, developed within the country, had been employed in destroying Pakistani air bases during the recent conflict following India’s Operation Sindoor.
In his speech in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad, Amit Shah also informed that Pakistan’s China-borrowed air defence system saw no action during Operation Sindoor, revealing its terrorism lies to the world.
Amit Shah: Air Bases Destroyed With Indigenous BrahMos
“As our indigenously developed BrahMos (supersonic cruise missile system) worked to destroy Pakistan’s air bases, its own air defence system, borrowed from China, remained unused. Our Air Force carried out precise attacks and inflicted heavy damage on many places in Pakistan, which were considered impregnable. Operation Sindoor will be written in golden letters when the history is written on the border safety,” PTI quoted Shah as saying.
The home minister expressed that although surgical strikes and the airstrike in the previous instance were confined to the Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), India intruded 100 km deep inside Pakistan’s border in Operation Sindoor and wiped out terrorists and their clusters.
Pakistan’s Narrative on Terrorism Exposed says Amit Shah
“Pakistan used to tell the whole world that no terrorist activity happens there and accused India of making false complaints. But, terrorists were finished with missiles under ‘Operation Sindoor’ and Pakistan was exposed to the world,” Shah said.
He said the next day, senior officers of the Pakistani army attended the funeral of terrorists and offered prayers, “which exposed the nexus of the Pakistani Army, Pakistan, and terrorism, and the whole world came to know that Pakistan runs bases for terrorists”.
Operation Sindoor was initiated by the Indian forces in retaliation for the Pahalgam terrorist attack that had resulted in the deaths of 25 Indians and a Nepali citizen.
Terror Bases Targeted in Punjab and PoK
The terror dens in Pakistan’s Punjab province and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir were hit by the Armed forces at the crack of dawn on May 7, and over 100 terrorists were killed at nine different places.
The operations wiped out terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, from where terrorist activities against India were launched and coordinated.
India Foils Retaliatory Strikes From Pakistan
Following the first Indian raids, Islamabad attempted to hit India’s military bases several times until May 10, but they were deterred by India’s air defence systems.
In response, the Armed forces damaged a number of Pakistan’s military bases until an agreement was made between the two nations to end hostilities on May 10.
