Manama [Bahrain], May 25: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday said that Operation Sindoor launched by India in response to the Pahalgam terror attack was not intended to be against people in Pakistan, but against the terrorist infrastructure in the neighbouring country and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).“Operation Sindoor was not intended to be against the people of Pakistan but against the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK. I congratulate our armed forces that none of the civilians of Pakistan were killed, as only terrorists were killed, and some family members of terrorists. But the sad part is that Pakistan blindly fired in our border areas, and they intentionally attacked our civilians,” Azad, who is part of an all-party delegation led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Baijayant Panda, said.
He said that even after “trying to have good relations with neighbours”, India has faced terrorist attacks from the other side of the border.
“We are happy to meet the Indian diaspora; they came in large numbers. Be it any government, all our prime ministers have always tried to have good relations with our neighbours, including Pakistan. They always held talks with the Pakistan leadership, but after every such initiative, India faced terrorist attacks from the other side of the border,” Azad said.
