Dilip Ghosh says Operation Sindoor fulfilled India’s pledge, ceasefire temporary, Pakistan on final warning

Former MP and BJP leader Dilip Ghosh, during a morning walk at New Town’s Eco Park, made several remarks regarding Operation Sindoor, the recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and the broader context of terrorism and cross-border tensions. His statements followed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address to the nation where the success of Operation Sindoor was highlighted.

Operation Sindoor was launched by the Indian Army following the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where several tourists were killed. Prime Minister Modi had stated that “Operation Sindoor has fulfilled the vow to crush terrorism into dust.” Ghosh reiterated the same, terming it a historic success and saluting the armed forces.

When asked about the ceasefire, Ghosh said, “We will not take credit for the ceasefire. Because it has only been temporarily suspended. The war has not ended. Those who were struggling and could not endure any longer are trying to take credit. Those who supported terrorism have been crushed — they are now claiming credit. Terrorism has been eradicated from India — the credit for that goes to Modi. As long as terrorism exists across the border, this fight will continue.”

On whether the ceasefire left the response to the Pahalgam attack incomplete, Ghosh responded, “India doesn’t want to step on a rotten clam and end up hurting itself. When needed, we have fought. But we do not want war. We have said clearly: No First Use of nuclear weapons. If someone causes harm, they must be taught a lesson. The matter is temporarily paused due to the current situation. But this war will not stop. Many countries are unable to fight terrorism alone — they want India by their side.”

Ghosh also addressed reports of tremors and speculation in Pakistan. He said, “There’s a lot of discussion going on. Some say India fired a BrahMos missile there. Others claim a leak occurred at the Noor Khan Air Base. Apparently, a team of radiation experts has arrived from America on a special aircraft to conduct tests. I don’t know what’s true or false in these claims. Perhaps the truth will come out in a few days.” He added that Pakistan has been given a final chance and warned of “disastrous consequences” if similar incidents occur again.
