In the joint press briefing of the Ministry of Defence held on May 11, several details were shared by the defence personnel. It was the joint press briefing, which included Air Marshal AK Bharti, DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, and Vice Admiral AN Pramod.
During this press briefing, DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai mentioned, “You are all by now familiar with the brutality and the dastardly manner in which 26 innocent lives were prematurely terminated at Pahalgam on 22nd April.”
Lt General Ghai further mentioned, “When you combine those horrific scenes and the pain of the families that the nation witnessed with numerous other recent terrorist strikes on our armed forces and defenceless civilians, we knew that the time had arrived to make yet another compelling statement of our resolve as a nation. Operation Sindoor was conceptualized with a clear military aim to punish the perpetrators and planners of terror and to destroy their terror infrastructure. What I do not state here is the often stated determination of India and its intolerance to terror.”

He further mentioned, “Our forces remained forward deployed in the Northern Arabian Sea in a decisive nd deterrent posture with full readiness and capacity to strike select targets at sea and on land, including Karachi, at a time of our choosing. The forward deployment of the Indian Navy compelled Pakistani naval and air units to be in a defensive posture, mostly inside harbours or very close to the coast, which we monitored continuously….Our response has been measured, proportionate, non-escalatory and responsible from day one…As we speak, the Indian Navy remains deployed at sea in a credible deterrent posture to respond decisively to any inimical action by Pakistan.”
Vice Admiral AN Pramod also said, “This time if Pakistan dares to take any action, Pakistan knows what we are going to do.”
