Vikram Misri The Pahalgam terror attack left 26 dead on April 22 and Pakistan “refused to take action against terrorist infrastructure” in response, the Indian government said. India made a strong case for its airstrikes which were code-named ‘Operation Sindoor’ at terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, with foreign secretary Vikram Misri saying Pakistan did not act on terror infrastructure after the terror strike in Pahalgam that led to the deaths of 26 persons on April 22.

And yet, with actionable intelligence and a fast-growing world alarm, Pakistan failed to move against terror networks on its soil. “Pakistan has created an image in the world as a haven of terrorism,” he said.
“It is pertinent to mention that India had shared inputs regarding the TRF in the half yearly report to the UN Monitoring Team of the UNSC’s 1267 Sanctions Committee in May and November 2024 highlighting its role as a front for Pakistan-based terrorist groups in the past as well.
Pakistan’s insistence to delete the TRF from the April 25
UNSC press statement too is significant here. Interrogations in the Pahalgam terrorist incident have exposed the communication links of terrorists inside and to Pakistan. The claims and their reposting by known social media accounts of Lashkar-e-Taiba would suffice for themselves,” Misri was quoted as saying
Speaking at a press briefing, hours after India carried out a targeted operation,
Vikram Misri said, “A formation in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir called the ‘Resistance Front’ has claimed the responsibility for the attack in Pahalgam. This group is linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba. Links in Pakistan have been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.”
THE modus operandi of the Pahalgam attack was aimed at fomenting communal discord in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of India, Misri said.
India’s intelligence services, the foreign secretary said, had credible information that additional attacks were planned, necessitating a robust military response. “There is a sense that more attacks on India could be lurking around the corner, and it was considered important to stop and deal with them,” Misri said.
He justified the pre-dawn strikes, saying,
“Today we can’t guarantee that whatever will be carried out will have no loss, no damage, otherwise the opposition will have objection on it.” The recent incident in Pahalgam has understandably evoked strong feelings across Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of India. Of course, we responded that way to the attacks that followed it in that we had our initial set of steps in our engagement with Pakistan. You all know those decisions we made in April and on 23 April. But those responsible for an attack on April 22 needed to face the consequences “especially those who planned it,” it said.
“Two weeks have passed after the Pulwama terror attack
and despite repeated demands of investigation, no credible action has been taken till date against the perpetrators and the masterminds of the attack and the organisations/individuals giving it support and shelter in Pakistan. Instead it has denied and accused and denied and accused. We had intercepted intelligence on attacks planned on India originating from Pak based Terrorist Modules Centre. So there was a necessity to, so both to prevent and to pre-empt,
the foreign secretary stated in the media briefing
India’s operations were aimed at major camps of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and PoK. The airstrikes came after days of high-level meetings and intelligence assessments in the wake of the Pahalgam incident. PM Modi Operation Sindoor News
