India on Tuesday slammed Pakistan Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar’s interview to foreign media, accusing Islamabad of distorting facts following the events of Operation Sindoor.
Responding to Dar’s remarks, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal dismissed Pakistan’s narrative, stating that “claiming victory is an old habit.”
“In essence, India’s position remained the same; Pakistan’s position changed on 10th May morning after its airbases were effectively put out of action. All you have to do is to look at who called who to negotiate the terms of the cessation of firing. You all know that satellite pictures are available commercially. I urge you to look at the sites which Pakistan claims to have attacked in India. Contrast it with these sites and places which we successfully targeted and destroyed. That will give you a clear answer. Claiming victory is an old habit,” Jaiswal said.
