From Pulwama to Balakot - a trail of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism
Avenging Pulwama terror attack, India strikes back: Indian Air Force’s crushing attacks destroy Jaish bases inside Pakistan killing about 350 terrorists
New Delhi – India offered its homage to its soldiers martyred at Pulwama by destroying the Jaish-e-Mohammed bases in Balakot, Pakistan. Tuesday morning dawned with the delightful news, and the country began celebrations. The Indian Air Force’s Mirage 2000 targeted the Jaish training centres in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and areas even beyond it in Pakistan’s Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. Bombs weighing approximately six thousand kgs were used for the attacks, reportedly killing at least 350 terrorists. Although media representatives claim their sources to have reported the number of dead terrorists to be anywhere between 600 to 650.
At 3:30 am on Tuesday, 12 Mirage 2000 fighter jets took off from the Indian air base in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh and began bombing Jaish’s largest training base at Balakot in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in a matter of minutes. Along with Jaish, the Lashkar-e-Taiba and even the Hizbul Mujahideen were using the camp to provide training for acts of terrorism. The terrorists also used the base as a command and communications centre. Therefore, hundreds of terrorists were present at the base camp.
Pakistan attacks India: India downs intruding F-16 but loses MiG-21 during combat; IAF Pilot in Pak custody
New Delhi / Islamabad: Reacting to Indian attacks on its terrorist bases, Pakistan tried to hit the Indian military installations. The act appears to be a declaration of war against India by Pakistan. Pakistani fighter jets violated the Indian airspace and attempted to attack the Indian army locations. However, India’s MiG-21s chased the Pakistani jets out of the Indian territory. While the Indian Air Force downed an intruding F-16 fighter, IAF lost one MiG-21 in the ensuing engagement. By launching the attack, Pakistan has posed an open challenge to New Delhi. Also, a new wave of anger against Pakistan has erupted in India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson, Raveesh Kumar delivered information on the combat in a press briefing. “India attacked the terrorist bases in Pakistan, and there was no civilian or military loss to the country due to it. However, Pakistan attempted to attack the Indian military installations, and this amounts to aggression,” Raveesh Kumar warned. He informed that India lost one of its ‘MiG-21 Bison’ fighter jets in the operation and that the pilot of the concerned aircraft was in Pakistan’s custody.
Indian defence forces expose Pakistan’s lies; show evidence of crashed F-16
New Delhi – On Wednesday, Pakistan bragged that stalwarts in the Pakistan Air Force attained significant success in shooting down Indian fighter jets. The Pakistan media claimed that by shooting down the Indian fighter jets, their pilots humiliated India. However, the Pakistani celebrations were deflated by the evidence revealed on Thursday.
“The Indian fighter jets were shot down, but Pakistan did not suffer any losses. No F-16 aircraft was used in the attack. Therefore, India’s claim of downing the aircraft is false”, Pakistan had stated. Likewise, Pakistan said that there was no Jaish base in Balakot and that only the trees in the area were damaged in the Indian attack. Nevertheless, the Indian media and then the defence forces revealed evidence exposing Pakistan’s false claims.
Air Vice Marshal (AVM) RGK Kapoor of the Indian Air Force, Major General Surendra Singh Mahal of the Indian Army, and Rear Admiral Dalbir Singh Gujral of the Indian Navy addressed a joint press conference at 7 pm in New Delhi.

Pakistan’s attempt to rescind India’s invite to OIC backfires
Abu Dhabi – Pakistan’s demand to rescind the invite the 57-member body, the ‘Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’ (OIC) sent India has boomeranged on it. For India not to get a chance to present itself at the OIC, Pakistan threatened to boycott the meet scheduled to be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, the OIC paid no heed to Pakistan’s blackmail and maintained the invite to India. The move is seen as a humiliation of Pakistan in its attempt to corner India. Without any direct mention of the country, Indian Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj lashed out at Pakistan’s terror policies.
“Terrorism is destroying lives, destabilising regions and puts the world in great peril,” foreign minister Swaraj said as she severely criticised terrorism and extremism in her 17-minute speech. “Terrorism and extremism bear different names and labels. It uses diverse causes. However, in each case, it is driven by distortion of religion, and a misguided belief in its power to succeed. One cannot justify terrorism based on religion,” Swaraj asserted at the meet. I’ve come with the good wishes of 130-crore Indians where 18.5 crore Muslim brothers and sisters dwell, reminded Swaraj.
Fear spreads across Pakistan as anxiety grows over possible Indian attack
Islamabad – Pakistan is panic-stricken, fearing that India, along with Israel may soon carry out attacks on Karachi, Bahawalpur and other locations. Quoting their sources, the Pakistani news channels have published reports about this. Even the Pakistani Air Force chief instructed the PAF to remain in a state of readiness stating that the threat to their country had not yet averted. If India attacks, we would retaliate, Pakistan threatened. However, in reality, Pakistan is shuddering with the mere thought of an Indian attack.
On 27th February 2019, Pakistan was celebrating the downing of an Indian MiG-21 aircraft after intruding into the Indian airspace. Pakistan’s former military officials, analysts and leaders were claiming that India had been taught a lesson. What’s more, Pakistani Railway Minister announced in their parliament that the Pakistani population was displeased that war did not spark between the two countries. Nevertheless, the ground reality in Pakistan was now beginning to surface.
Indian Navy responds to Pakistan’s false propaganda about submarine intrusion; says Pak is not even aware of its naval deployments
New Delhi / Islamabad – ‘An Indian submarine was trying to enter Pakistani waters. Nevertheless, the Pakistan Navy detected it in time and thwarted the attempt. The submarine could have been easily engaged and destroyed had it not been Pakistan’s policy to exercise restraint in the face of Indian aggression,’ Pakistan Navy claimed. However, the Indian Navy deflated Pakistan’s ‘restraint’ bubble. India has undoubtedly deployed its ships, but Pakistan is entirely oblivious of the deployment, said the Indian Navy as Indian government continues to increase pressure over Pakistan. At the same time, the Indian Navy chief Admiral Sunil Lanba warned that a sea-borne terror attack was likely and that the Navy was prepared for it.
On Tuesday morning, Pakistan started its fake propaganda. “The Indian submarine was trying to enter Pakistani waters. However, the Pakistani navy detected the submarine and successfully thwarted the attempt,” Pakistani Navy stated. “The submarine could have easily been engaged and destroyed had it not been Pakistan’s policy to exercise restraint in the face of Indian aggression. The Pakistan Navy merely chased the submarine out of Pakistani waters,” Pak Navy bragged over the incident. It also shared a video of the alleged incident on social media and the timestamp on the video footage shows the recording time as 8.30 pm on March 4, 2019.
Indian Air Force snubs detractors, submits evidence of Balakot Air Strike to the Indian Government
New Delhi – The Indian Air Force has castigated Pakistan. Pakistan had claimed that they incurred no losses in the Balakot attack as they tried to save their face before their supporters and the international media. The Indian Air Force submitted satellite images of the air attack site which demonstrated its state before and after the strike. The presented imagery shows the IAF strike was precise and that the base suffered significant losses. However, international media were claiming that the attack was ineffective as the roof of the building was intact. Nevertheless, explaining the working of the ‘Spice 2000′ smart bombs used in the attack, Indian analysts are pointing out that they cause destruction inside the building rather than blowing away the roof.
On 26th February, the Indian Air Force pounded the Jaish-e-Mohammed base at Balakot inside Pakistan. The IAF and the government said that the attack was hugely successful. Even so, Pakistan was in denial of the Indian success and attempted to cover up its failure, stating that nothing happened in the area.
Pakistan used Jaish for terror attacks in India, shamelessly admits former Pak dictator Musharraf
Islamabad – Former dictator of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf made a brazen confession by saying that the Pakistani intelligence agency used Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) to carry out attacks in India. Musharraf made the statement during an interview with a Pakistani news channel. Therefore, the Pakistani military which claimed that Jaish was not present in Pakistan, has once again fallen on its face. It only proves that the action Pakistan had said it initiated against the terrorist organisations to save its skin was nothing but an eyewash. After the cowardly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama, Pakistan has many times changed its narrative and stand.
The Pakistan Prime Minister had assured to initiate action if India provided evidence for the attack. Later on, following India’s submission of a dossier with evidence, Pakistan created a façade of starting proceedings against the terrorist organisations to pacify India and to ease the international pressure on it.

New Delhi: The Commander of the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), Gen. Raymond Thomas met Chief Of Army Staff Gen Bipin Rawat in India. They are said to have deliberated over the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. Also, the Pakistani media claims that India is holding secret meetings with the army top brass of leading nations. Additionally, army officials who have experience and are proficient in warfare tactics have reportedly been deployed at the LoC. Pakistan is taking cognisance of India’s preparations while their analysts have voiced concerns over it saying that India was preparing for a major military operation to rock Pakistan.
India has deployed the Bofors guns along the LoC and has begun using it to retaliate against Pakistani shelling. The conflict between both nations on the front is intensifying by the day, and Pak has mobilised its troops from over the Afghanistan borders to the forward positions close to the Kashmir border.
New Delhi – India has taken an unprecedented decision to withhold the waters of the rivers flowing from India into Pakistan, a decision which was not made even during the previous wars. The waters of the rivers would be diverted into the River Yamuna, Indian Water Resources Minister Nitin Gadkari announced. India has taken an aggressive stand and decided to teach Pakistan a lesson by scrapping the ‘Indus Water Treaty’ signed between India and Pakistan in 1960. Previously, Pakistan had threatened India that if they did initiate such action, it would be considered a declaration of war.
While addressing a rally in Bhagpat, India’s Water Resources Minister Nitin Gadkari declared that the waters of three rivers flowing from India to Pakistan would be blocked and diverted to the River Yamuna. Thus, it would lead to an increase in the level of Yamuna, said Gadkari as he delivered a major shock to Pakistan. He also indicated that the decision was already in effect by adding that the construction work had begun on the River Ravi at Shahpur-Kandi.
New Delhi – Following the Pulwama attack, US National Security Advisor John Bolton acknowledged that India had the right to take action to defend itself. The US support has created a stir in Pakistan. Right after, the newly-appointed Israeli Ambassador to India, Dr. Ron Malka announced that Israel offers ‘unconditional’ help to India. He also made a crucial assertion that ‘there is no limit’ to its assistance. Pakistan is, therefore, panic-stricken as it is well aware of the Israeli military prowess. Reacting to the Israeli statement Pakistan’s Foreign Minister declared that Islamabad wants to improve its relations with Israel.
‘Whatever India needs to defend itself there is no limit. We are here to help our close friend India to defend itself especially against terrorism because terrorism is the problem of the world, and not only of India and Israel,’ said Dr. Malka. ‘Therefore, Israel is keen on providing the knowledge, technique and technology for counter-terrorism actions, to India because we really want to help our very important friend in its defence,’ said Dr. Malka as he expressed the sentiment of his nation.

Afghanistan complains against Pakistan to the UN Security Council amid mounting global pressure
New York / Kabul / Tehran – Afghanistan has adopted an aggressive stance against Pakistan, which is carrying out terrorist attacks in India, Iran and the neighbouring countries, as also has lodged a complaint against the state in the UN Security Council. The Pakistani Army is launching rocket attacks on the Afghan border and is violating their airspace, Afghanistan alleged. Thus, the pressure on Pakistan appears to be mounting as all the neighbouring countries except China, have taken a stance against it.
The Afghanistan government has alleged in the letter to the UN Security Council that the Pakistani Army is consistently violating their territory. “Since 2012, the Pakistani Army is carrying out rocket and mortar attacks on the Afghan border. Also, the Pakistani military helicopters are regularly intruding into Afghanistan and violating the airspace”, the Afghan government wrote in the letter.
