NEW DELHI: Operation Sindoor is far from over, top government sources have said, asserting that India is now operating under a “new normal” that both the world and Pakistan must accept. “If they fire, we will fire. If they attack, we will attack,” said a source familiar with the developments, reported ANI.
According to sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a clear directive following attacks on Indian air bases, “Wahan se goli chalegi, yahan se gola chalega” — a shift that marked a turning point in India’s military posture.
The offensive under Operation Sindoor was designed with three clear objectives: military, political, and psychological.
On the military front, India has “reduced to dust” terror launchpads in Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Muzaffarabad, as reported by ANI. “PM Modi said ‘mitti me mila denge’ and we did just that,” a source said, as quoted by ANI.
Politically, the Indus Waters Treaty , long considered a cornerstone of India-Pakistan relations, has now been linked to terrorism. “It will remain in abeyance until cross-border terror stops,” a source reportedly said.
Psychologically, India has delivered a blow “deep inside their heart.” “We hit them where it hurts. This is a new message: ‘ghus ke maarenge’,” the source added.
The confrontation intensified after Pakistan launched attacks on 26 sites the same night, PM Modi reportedly warned US Vice President JD Vance that any provocation from Islamabad would be met with a devastating response. India retaliated with strikes on Pakistani air bases.
Crucially, there have been no diplomatic talks between the two countries' NSAs or foreign ministers. Communication has been limited to military-to-military contact through the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs).
“Pakistan is not in this league anymore. They lost in every round. Our strikes made it clear — no one is safe. This is the new normal,” the sources said.
