NSA Ajit Doval / Not a single picture of the damage done to India... NSA Doval spoke on Operation Sindoor

NSA Ajit Doval: National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval participated in the 62nd convocation ceremony of IIT Madras held in Chennai. During this, he spoke in detail about the success of the recently conducted Operation Sindoor and underlined the strength of India's indigenous technology. He also strongly attacked the wrong reporting of foreign media.

Operation Sindoor: India's precise action

Ajit Doval described Operation Sindoor as a great example of India's defense capability and indigenous technology. He said,

"We decided to attack 9 terrorist bases in Pakistan. We are proud of Operation Sindoor. We did not attack anywhere else except our fixed 9 targets. The attacks were precise. Whether it was our Brahmos or radar, all were indigenous."

Doval said that it took only 23 minutes to carry out the entire operation, which shows India's military efficiency and technical superiority.

Targeting foreign media

Ajit Doval strongly criticized the false and misleading reporting done by the foreign media regarding Operation Sindoor. He challenged,

"Foreign media said that Pakistan did this and that. Show me even one photo in which any Indian building has been damaged. Show me even one photo, which shows India's loss. Even a glass pane broken, not even that."

He stressed that the foreign media presented the facts in a distorted manner, while India exercised complete accuracy and restraint in its action.

Indigenous technology and national pride

Doval called upon young engineers to develop indigenous technology. He said,

"We have to strengthen our indigenous technology further. In Operation Sindoor, we showed that our technology and weapons are world class."

Referring to India's cultural and civilizational heritage, he said,

"You belong to a civilization that has struggled with crises and humiliations for thousands of years. Our ancestors endured innumerable sufferings to keep this civilization and the concept of nation alive. India is a nation, not just a state."

He motivated the students by saying that in 2047, when India completes 100 years of its independence, they will be at the pinnacle of their careers and will make significant contributions to the country's progress.

Background of Operation Sindoor

In the last few months, tensions between India and Pakistan had increased. On 22 April 2025, terrorists attacked unarmed people in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, in which many people were injured. In response to this, India launched Operation Sindoor on 7 May 2025. Under this operation, 9 terrorist hideouts of Pakistan were targeted and completely destroyed.

Pakistan tried to retaliate, but it failed. After this, a ceasefire took place between the two countries on 10 May 2025. Doval described this operation as a symbol of India's strategic and technical superiority.
