POONCH: Noted ancient strategist of Bharat Acharya Chanakya once said, “The way to ‘Shanti goes through ‘Shakti.’ It means showing power to the enemy is necessary to establish peace when all other means have ended.” The same was also projected by the NSA Ajit Doval time and again, and ultimately, Bharat implemented the same on the ground by scripting 100% successful Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. After the April 22nd, 2025, terror attack in Pahalgam, in which terrorists killed 26 persons by asking their names, shook the entire country, and it was almost certain that Pakistan had dug its graveyard by scripting the attack.
There was widespread anger in the country, and recognizing the public concern, PM Modi promised a tough action against the terror ecosystem beyond imagination. Modi used a very tough phrase, “Mitti mein mila dunga,” when he said that perpetrators of the terror attack will get huge punishment beyond imagination. As usual, the “Saboot” gang in the country tried to set a narrative that Modi will do nothing, but giving a shocking surprise to the whole world, PM Modi. Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, the tri-services chiefs, the NSA, and the CDS formed a high-level strategy and created history by becoming the first country to attack inside a nuclear power country with accurate precision to demolish the terror industry, in which Pakistan suffered heavy losses. Bharat destroyed nine terror camps, in addition to demolishing nine air defense systems in Pakistan. The HQW-9 air defense system was also demolished by drones of Bharat. F-16, F-17, and top squadrons of Pakistan were wiped out completely by the IAF, Navy, and Army with accuracy without hitting civilians of Pakistan. The famous air base of Pakistan, Rahim Yar Khan, was destroyed completely by Bharat. The entire operation by Bharat has also exposed the defense apparatus that Pakistan was using. China’s defense apparatus and Turkish drones also met the same fate. The professional approach adopted by the Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, and Indian Army in destroying the terror ecosystem in Pakistan with a 100% success rate has surprised the whole world, especially major global powers like China and the USA. Frustrated by all these angles, the Pakistani army targeted the city of Poonch, in which 13 persons, including four children, lost their lives, while 44 were injured. Poonch city witnessed heavy shelling for the first time. Even during the 1965 and 1971 wars, Poonch city did not witness such an outrage from Pakistan, but this was the very first time the city had to witness terrible moments for two to three days. It is Poonch that sacrificed a lot for the nation, but it’s unfortunate that there was no mention of Poonch at the top level. If the Government of India has taken a tough approach against the terror ecosystem after killing 26 tourists by the terrorists, then who will avenge the supreme sacrifice of the people of Poonch, who suffered heavily? Pakistan targeted religious places, main markets, and other important places in the Poonch city. Later, rural areas of Poonch, Surankote, and Mendhar were also targeted by the Pakistanis. ADDC Rajouri Raj Kumar Thappa (JKAS) was also martyred in the Pakistani shelling. This was the first time that there was a huge migration from Poonch city, as nearly 90% of the people left Poonch city. Even in the speech of PM Modi, there was no mention of the supreme sacrifice of 13 people of Poonch, including four minors. Although it’s a history of Poonch people to face the adversary during all wars imposed by Pakistan, this time, Poonchis suffered heavily in all kinds. Those who sacrificed their lives for their nation were Ayan Khan, 12, and Aruba Khan, 10; seven-year-old Maryam Khatoon; 13-year-old Vihaan Bhargav; Balvinder, 33; Amreek Singh, 55; Ranjeet Singh, 48; and Qaari Mohammad Iqbal, a teacher in a religious school. Despite that, the communal harmony shown by all during tough times has given a strong message to the country that despite being ignored by all during tough times, Poonchis stood strongly with the nation. After visiting the families of victims who lost their lives in Pakistani shelling, J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said, “For three to four days, there was a war-like environment in J&K, and Poonch was most affected by Pakistani shelling, in which 134 people lost their lives. My aim in coming to Poonch was to visit those houses of victims. I met the civil society here. I thanked the people of Poonch for maintaining the brotherhood even during this tough situation. In the future, if such an incident happens, we have received suggestions from civil society to avoid such huge losses, and we will work on it.” Omar also targeted noted journalist Rajdeep Sardesai by saying that which Indian won’t support the PM’s anti-terror doctrine. However, during these three to four days, Bharat has set a new benchmark of modern warfare as its air defense system gave 100% results by protecting the people, which is a new thing for the whole world. The Bharat-based Akash Air Defence system, the Russian-based S-400, and a host of other help from India’s most trustworthy friends played a magnificent role for the Bharat. The Bharat-based new modern warfare technology has demolished Pakistan by all means, and it shows that Bharat has become a new global power in the defense sector. The professional role played by the Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, and Indian Army has made the country proud, but overall, all the forces had the strong political will of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at their back, and due to this, Operation Sindoor has successfully completed its initial talk, as the operation has not finished yet, as said by PM Modi in his address to the nation the other day. PM Modi said that the operation is in pause mode only. In his thrilling speech, PM Modi has given a tough signal to the entire world by saying that Bharat will not tolerate the terror ecosystem operating against it from anywhere. PM Modi’s strong gesture has made him a global and powerful leader, as Pakistan and its supporters never imagined in their dreams such a blatant action from Bharat. But at a time when Bharat has set a new benchmark of modern warfare by demolishing Pakistan through Operation Sindoor completely, in addition to giving a tough signal to the entire world, it’s the “Orphan” people of Poonch who have always been given step motherly treatment by the government despite their strong nationalist approach. Will Bharat avenge the killings of 13 innocent lives in Poonch by Pakistan by targeting the city of Poonch? Fingers crossed.
