Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Following a deadly terrorist attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir, reports have emerged of a potential major Indian retaliatory plan codenamed "Operation Sindoor." According to a media report citing top intelligence sources, India has identified the headquarters of two major terrorist organizations inside Pakistan as primary targets for a potential cross-border strike.
The proposed operation is a direct response to the recent attack in Pahalgam, where terrorists opened fire on a bus, killing one tourist and injuring several others. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the assault.
The intelligence report alleges that "Operation Sindoor" would specifically target two key locations: Bahawalpur, the headquarters of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist group, and Muridke, the base of operations for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The name "Sindoor," which refers to the vermilion mark worn by married Hindu women, is seen as highly symbolic, suggesting a firm response to the attack on pilgrims.
While there has been no official confirmation from the Indian government or military, the news comes amid high-level security meetings in New Delhi to review the nation's counter-terrorism strategy. This development signals a potential shift towards a more aggressive posture and has raised concerns about a significant escalation in tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
The report suggests that India is considering a range of options, potentially including a surgical strike similar to past operations. For now, the report on "Operation Sindoor" remains unconfirmed, but it underscores the volatile security situation in the region and the Indian government's resolve to hold terrorist groups and their sponsors accountable.
