In a joint press briefing by the Ministry of External Affairs and security forces amidthe ongoing tensions with Pakistan, foreign secretary Vikram Misri slammed the neighbouring nation, saying that "Pak's dismissal of the attacks on India showcases their double standards".
On the night of May 7 and 8, the Pakistani army carried out multiple airspace violations and drone intrusion, targeting Indian military infrastructure.
"These provocative and escalatory actions taken by Pakistan last night were targeted at Indian cities and civilian infrastructure in addition to military establishments. Indian armed forces responded proportionately, adequately, and responsibly... The official and blatantly farsical denial of these attacks that Pakistan carried out, by the Pakistani state machinery is another example of their duplicity and the new depths", Vikram Misri said while addressing the media briefing.
Pakistan's attempted attacks follow India's Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam tragedy which claimed 26 innocent lives on April 22. The Indian armed forces launched 'Operation Sindoor', successfully destroying nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK). The terror camps were associated with Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen.
