India has clearly indicated that Operation Sindoor is not over, and this signals a new normal in India’s strategy to tackle cross-border terrorism. Government sources have indicated that Pakistan needs to come to terms with this fact, as India will not put up with business as usual in the face of security threats.
After the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Operation Sindoor was conducted by India to destroy terror camps in PoK and Pakistan. Sources confirmed later that the operation is ongoing and India is taking a policy of stronger retaliations. The senior official added: “If they fire, we will fire. If they attack, we will attack.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the military as follows: “Bullets must be responded with artillery.”
Military, Political, and Psychological Goals
Three important goals have been accomplished by India through Operation Sindoor with success:
Military – Terror camps in Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Muzaffarabad have been targeted.
Political – The Indus Waters Treaty has been connected to cross-border terrorism, still on hold till Pakistan ceases to patronize terror outfits.
Psychological – India has sent a strong signal that it will attack deep within enemy lines if provoked.
No Diplomatic Dialogue—Only Military Communication
In the face of international appeals for de-escalation, India has rejected third-party mediation on the Kashmir issue. Government sources confirmed: “There is nothing else to talk about. If they want to discuss handing over terrorists, we can. But we don’t need anyone to mediate.”
India-Pakistan communication has been restricted to military channels with no NSA-NSA or Foreign Minister- Foreign Minister level talks.
India’s new normal of handling Pakistan is a strategic change in its counterterrorism strategy. With Operation Sindoor ongoing, India has clearly drawn a line, making it so that cross-border terrorism would cost Pakistan dearly.
