Journalist & author Francesca Marino has claimed that a Pakistan Army unit arrived at the camp 2.5 hours after the strike to take the injured for treatment.
Compared to Pakistan Air Force’s 2.5 pilots per aircraft, the IAF is at a ratio of 1.5. The IAF also has issues with squadron strength and target practice.
With trolls poking fun that he had been killed in the Balakot strikes, Aiyar says he has been campaigning in the south, but ‘BJP doesn’t understand Tamil’.
Prime Minister Modi has been swift to bring up the Sri Lanka attacks as a reason to vote for BJP: A vote for his party is a vote to destroy terrorism, he said.
The military veterans, in letter to Thomson Reuters, have taken exception to ANI's coverage of petition they filed before President & EC about 'politicisation' of armed forces this election.
Local poll authorities flagged Modi's remarks -- in which he asked first-time voters to vote for the soldiers behind the Balakot airstrike -- as a poll code violation.
Pakistan took 43 days to organise a tour of reporters & diplomats to Balakot, the site of India's February airstrikes. Forty-three days is a long time to hide an inconvenient truth.
MoSPI proposes to remove closed factories from IIP sample, aiming for truer picture of India’s industrial health in upcoming 2022–23 base series. Plan open to public feedback until 25 November.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Not sure about the journalist but definitely Pakistan’s spokespersons who came up with gems like Pakistan won all 4 wars that were initiated by India, there were no Pakistani army regulars during Kargil ( to the extent that brave soldiers were given their due after more then a decade, and mostly buried by the Indian army), one Pakistani soldier equal to multiple Indian soldiers, etc. truly need to first work on their credibility.
So according to you terrorists are civilians??? lol
What a joker, who thinks terrorists are civilians …. a Probably, in reality, due to his knowledge that all pakistanis are terrorists … hahaha
The first I dont know why this is called a surgical strike and how it is different from a normal air strike. This report by the the Italian journalist who is not linked to any known news group was published as soon as the news of this strike broke on the media with the Foreign Secretary breaking the news and not the Defense Secretary with scanty details. The question is why is it being published again. We were told that what the foreign secretary and other ruling party members claimed was sacrosanct and could not be questioned as such questioning amounted to being unpatriotic and anti national. Which meant that the Govt. had a license to tell us that our air force crossed the borders and hit various targets in Pak and if this was supported by a briefing by the Air force chief then it was absolute truth even if there were reports from the international media to the contrary. The BBC reporters on the ground talked to the locals and their briefings were recorded on camera and they showed the craters where the bombs fell. I did not believe both reports which rely on unnamed sources or persons. But there was a satellite picture taken by the Planet which was not debunked by our air force or other people who are versed in this matter but the saving grace was that there were dark patches on the roofs which seemed to be circular holes. It was not known what the black holes were due to some interference of shadow or cloudy weather etc but it was argued and said by the Air force that they had used bunker buster bombs and the bombs went through the roofs and through the first floor and exploded on the ground floor a very controlled explosion which did not even blast the brick walls and left them completely intact to show no signs of damage to the structure. I could not understand as to why the Airforce chose to use a bunker buster bomb to enter a tin roofed structure and then not destroy the structure. A bomb with high explosive content could have been used to kill all inside and flatten the structure. But I suppose the Air force must have thought that the structure was a UN heritage structure and had to be protected or the structure was needed by the JeM to be used once again for the same operations or the IAF thought that they wanted to capture Balakot and would need the structure because it was of strategic importance. They did not clarify as to why they did not use a bomb that would damage the structure. Its a secret of national security and cant be disclosed. However then there was another satellite picture published by the European Space Agency, a agency with repute and which has no reason to support Pak against India which was a high resolution image which showed no darkened patches on the roof and absolutely no damage to the structure at all. Col. Vinayak Bhat did not comment on this image nor did anyone for the MOD. as saying they did not believe this as the Space Agency would have stood their ground and would have asked the Indians to come and view it on their systems. Then you had the Minister of External Affairs admitting that the Govt had informed all friendly nations that the strike did not kill any civilians or military personnel. She did not say that they killed terrorists who were not civilians by her definition and were also not military personnel. I do not understand what is the desire not to strike at military personnel. Is that we are absolving the Pak military of any collusion or were we plain scared of the Pakistani reaction and full scale war or was this a well organized fixed match between the Pak and our BJP Govt. that the Govt needed their help for wining the elections and so we dropped bombs in the forest and they also dropped bombs in vacant land and then both shelled each other etc and the drama was made to look real but everyone knows that it was only theatre. The point is why is the Air force being called into to do things for somebody’s electoral gains and also lie. to the people on orders from the MOD.Shameful state of affairs.
Wht a fun by a pakistani, writing tons in alias false name
These terrorists wanted to touch the feet of Allah and our Indian Army prefixed their appointments in large numbers. For this reason alone, Allah ALONG WITH the Muslim bros should be thanking the Army.?
How keen are we at getting confirmation from someone who is not even allowed in the country? She claims to have “sources”? What else? Lets clutch at straws eh?
Reuters and tInternational press have no information on this strike. There us not much information on this journalist except that she has adopted an Indian child.On Google, her profile shows that she is a blacklisted journalist by Pakistan and cannot enter the country.
Her claims haven’t been backed up by any real evidence in India or in the International press.
That is strange,to say the least and it is mostly the Indian press that has carried her version.
Because, wise lady, Indians got similar news through their own news channels, and Pakistan bloked the bombed site for months from foreign media for renovation.
Pakistanis are known and internationally proven liars, no body believes them.
Good. Let’s ask her to investigate Mumbai attack. Really which countries were involved and their motives.
I congratulate Pakistan for bearing the massacre of about 200 of its citizens and loss of properties , only to save it’s ego and pride and avoiding further confrontation with India. A nice move !!!
Debris?? So we hv to show those bullet riddled half burnt bodies to terrorists who are already in Pakistan??? LOL…hv some guys and ask your army about the terrorist
Pakistan blocked the bombed site for months from foreign media for playing hockey with Police / military OR for hiding from world & damage renovation.
Beware of italian journalists. They know how to lie and sell it as truth.
There are many in India, specially Modi basher doubt the strike itself and even its success. Why Pakistan local police not allowed by military is in itself army leadership of Pakistan hiding a lot.
Was anyone from the families of Pakistani icons Hafiz Sayeed, Madood Azhar, Dawoods?
Pakistani awaam will have to a call.

Would like comments on my post
Lol, even Indian forieng minister admits neither a single army nor any civilian killed
So according to you terrorists are civilians??? lol

Do not under estimate any one and especially the truth.
