Operation Sindoor: India’s Strike Exposes Pakistan’s Dark Secret—Army Officers Honoring Terrorists

May 12, 2025 | New Delhi –A nation delivering justice so precise it not only destroys terror camps but unveils a chilling truth: Pakistan’s military saluting terrorists as martyrs. That’s the bombshell dropped by Operation Sindoor, India’s daring May 7 strike that obliterated nine terrorist hubs and killed over 100 operatives. Now, India has shared explosive evidence—photos of Pakistan Army officers at the funerals of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, wrapped in Pakistan’s flag. With satellite images showing the wreckage and a shaky ceasefire in place, let’s dive into this historic moment, uncover Pakistan’s complicity, and ask: Has India’s strike changed the fight against terror forever? Grab a coffee—this is a story of courage, betrayal, and a nation’s unbreakable spirit.

The Strike That Redefined Justice

At 1:05 AM on May 7, 2025, India launched Operation Sindoor, a 25-minute blitz of 24 missiles targeting nine terror camps linked to LeT, JeM, and Hizbul Mujahideen. Named after the vermilion mark symbolizing women widowed in the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed 26 lives, the operation was India’s fierce response to Pakistan’s terror sponsorship. Over 100 terrorists were eliminated, including masterminds of the 2008 Mumbai attacks and 2019 Pulwama bombing.

Maxar Technologies satellite images, released May 8, reveal the devastation:

• Muridke’s Markaz Taiba: LeT’s sprawling base, where 26/11 attackers trained, now a debris field.
• Bahawalpur’s Markaz Subhan Allah: JeM’s nerve center, tied to Pulwama, marred by craters.
• PoK Camps: Training sites in Kotli, Muzaffarabad, and Sialkot’s Mehmoona Joya, used for insurgent drills, reduced to ruins.

Using SCALP cruise missiles, Hammer Smart Bombs, and loitering munitions, India bypassed Pakistan’s air defenses, hitting radars at Chaklala and Sargodha. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri called it “precise, non-escalatory, and terror-focused.” A viral video from @adgpion X, showing Gulpur’s destruction at 1:08 AM, captioned “#JusticeServed,” sent chills worldwide.

The Damning Evidence: Pakistan’s Army Mourns Terrorists

India’s post-strike revelation was a global shocker: photos exposing Pakistan Army officers at terrorists’ funerals, proving their ties to LeT and JeM. Shared by envoy Vikram Doraiswami on Sky News, one image showed Lt Gen Fayyaz Hussain Shah, Maj Gen Rao Imran Sartaj, and Brig Mohd Furqan Shabbir at LeT commander Abdul Rauf’s funeral in Muridke. Coffins, draped in Pakistani flags, received state honors—a blatant endorsement of terror.

India named key terrorists killed:

• Khalid (Abu Akasha): LeT operative, smuggled weapons from Afghanistan to Jammu and Kashmir.
• Mudassir Khadian Khas (Abu Jundal):Ran Muridke’s terror camp, linked to 26/11 training.
• Mohammad Hassan Khan: JeM member, son of PoK’s operational head, Mufti Asghar Khan Kashmiri.
• Hafiz Muhammed Jameel and Mohammad Yusuf Azhar: JeM leaders, tied to Pulwama planning.

Doraiswami’s poster-sized photo of officers behind Rauf was a diplomatic gut-punch. On X, @RakshaSamachar, “Pakistan Army caught red-handed at terrorist funerals—#OperationSindoor exposes their truth.” The evidence obliterated Pakistan’s denials, laying bare its “deep state” nexus.

Why Sindoor? A Nation’s Breaking Point

The Pahalgam attack—where LeT’s offshoot, The Resistance Front, killed 26 tourists, including a Nepali national—was the tipping point. Intelligence traced the attackers to camps in Muridke, Bahawalpur, and PoK, with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Special Service Group (SSG) aiding operations.

Operation Sindoor was meticulously planned. India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) conducted years of surveillance, tracking targets via satellite phones and drones.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh told an all-party meeting, “We’ve set a new normal—100 terrorists gone.” The 23-minute strike, using Rafale jets, showcased India’s technological superiority over Pakistan’s Chinese-supplied defenses. As @IndiaTodayposted, “Sindoor’s precision rewrites counter-terror history.”

Pakistan’s Playbook: Lies and Retaliation

Pakistan’s response was a masterclass in deception. It claimed 26 civilian deaths, branding Sindoor a “war crime.” Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR)-linked accounts spread fake videos of strikes on Srinagar or Amritsar, debunked by PIB Fact Check as recycled 2024 footage from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa clashes.

Pakistan’s retaliation—300-400 Turkish-made Asisguard Songar drones and artillery fire—killed three Indian civilians in Salamabad. India’s S-400 Triumph and Barak-8 systems repelled the assault, but tensions skyrocketed. By May 10, Pakistan’s losses—35-40 personnel—forced a ceasefire, which it violated hours later.

X users erupted. @BharityaCitizentweeted, “Pakistan’s Army honors terrorists, then lies about civilian deaths—#OperationSindoor exposed their hypocrisy.” The funeral photos, showing state honors for terrorists, sparked global outrage.

Voices That Matter: Grief, Pride, and Scrutiny

The operation and its revelations ignited emotions:

• Victims’ Families: Priya Sharma, who lost her brother in Pahalgam, told ANI, “Seeing Pakistan’s Army with terrorists hurts, but India’s strike heals us.”
• Leaders: S Jaishankar tweeted, “Sindoor proves our resolve against terror.” Rahul Gandhi praised the strike but urged transparency on civilian impact.
• Citizens: On X, @nidhisj2001wrote, “Pakistan Army at terrorist funerals? #OperationSindoor shows they’re two sides of the same coin.” But @TruthSeekerXasked, “Why no civilian casualty details from India?”

Analysts like Lt Gen D.S. Hooda lauded India’s evidence, noting support from the US, UK, and UAE. Pakistan’s envoy, Mohammad Faisal, dodged questions on Sky News, saying, “I trust our government.” The photos, shared by @siddhantvm, fueled global condemnation.

The Global Fallout: Pakistan’s Shame, India’s Ascent

Operation Sindoor reshaped global perceptions. Outlets like Reuters and The Guardian framed it as a precise anti-terror strike, not aggression. India’s briefings to the US, Russia, and UAE, backed by Doraiswami’s photos, exposed Pakistan’s complicity. Singapore issued travel warnings, citing border risks.

The funeral photos were a diplomatic catastrophe for Pakistan. Officers like Lt Gen Shah, named by @tripathi_pragti confirmed state-sponsored terror. China called for calm, while Turkey’s alleged drone supplies to Pakistan drew ire. India’s doctrinal shift—targeting terrorists and their enablers—set a global benchmark.

But questions persist. Did India’s restraint—sparing civilians—soften its impact, or was it a diplomatic masterstroke? The ceasefire’s fragility, with violations noted by Omar Abdullah, raises doubts about peace.

@GeoPolityon X asked, “Will Pakistan’s Army rethink its terror ties, or is this a temporary pause?”

What’s Next: Vigilance and Accountability

As the ceasefire teeters, key developments loom:

• Military Talks: DGMOs meet May 12 to enforce compliance, with India firm on no Kashmir talks.
• Diplomacy: India’s evidence-sharing pressures Pakistan globally.
• Public Life: Airports reopen May 14, but IPL delays frustrate cricket fans.Here’s how you can stay engaged:
• Track Updates: Follow MEA’s website or @adgpifor news.
• Share Your View: Post on X with #OperationSindoor—do the funeral photos change the game?

Picture a 3D map of strike sites or a video of Doraiswami’s briefing—it’d make the story pop.

A Triumph, A Truth, A New Dawn

Operation Sindoor wasn’t just a strike—it was a reckoning. The photos of Pakistan’s Army at terrorist funerals expose a grim reality: Pakistan’s military and terror groups are one. The 100+ terrorists killed, the shattered camps, the global support—all underscore India’s strength and restraint.

But peace remains fragile. Pakistan’s lies and ceasefire breaches demand vigilance. As we mourn Pahalgam’s 26 victims, let’s honor them by seeking truth, supporting India’s fight, and dreaming of a world where terror has no state sponsor. India’s evidence is a global wake-up call—Pakistan’s shame is our resolve.
