India-Pakistan War: The Indian government has decided to consider terrorist incidents as acts of war. This is a major decision amid Operation Sindoor being carried out by the Indian forces after the massacre in Pahalgam.
In the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan, the Indian government has made a critical decision. It has declared that any future terrorist attacks will be regarded as acts of war. As a result, India intends to adopt a much stricter approach toward combating terrorism, particularly terrorism allegedly supported by Pakistan. If such acts are perpetrated by terrorists operating from Pakistan, India will hold the Pakistani government and its military responsible, treating it as an act of war.
This significant shift in India’s policy comes in the wake of a horrific incident in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where terrorists killed 26 Hindus. In retaliation, Indian forces launched airstrikes on nine locations across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of terrorists. This bold move by the Indian military has rattled Pakistan, prompting it to repeatedly target Indian military bases and other installations with missile attacks. However, India’s robust defence systems have successfully intercepted many of these strikes. At the same time, India has also responded with heavy fire along the Line of Control (Loc), delivering a strong counterattack to Pakistan’s aggression.
Zero tolerance against terrorism
Earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had said in a press conference that India will no longer tolerate terrorism. If any country or organisation launches a terrorist attack on our citizens, we will take it as a war and will respond through military action. He clarified that India’s army and intelligence agencies are ready to foil any such conspiracy.
