Operation Sindoor is a series of missile attacks by Indian armed forces on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK in the early hours of 7 May 2025 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
Between 1:05 AM and 1:30 AM on 7 May, 2025, Indian armed forces struck 9 terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (Pok). This included the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke and Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur. In a statement, the Indian government said its actions were “focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature” and that “no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted”.
Underlining the Pakistan link to the Pahalgam attack, the statement said India is “living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable”.
Pakistan reacted to the precision strikes by sending in drone swarms into Indian border states, and launching missiles on military and civilian infrastructure in India. Indian armed forces responded by striking airbases in Pakistan. On 10 May, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called his Indian counterpart and the two agreed on an understanding to cease all military hostilities starting 5 pm that day.
A sensible decision by the honourable High Court. The courts can decide if there is any substance in the case against Sharmishta. In the meantime, there is no reason why she should be locked up like a common criminal.
The Print editorial team went hammer and tongs at the Modi government for arresting Prof. Mahmudabad. But it chose to remain silent on the unjustifiable action of the Kolkata Police against Ms. Panoli.
The Print even put out an editorial slamming the Supreme Court for it’s adverse remarks targeting Prof. Mahmudabad. Mr. Shekhar Gupta decried the SC observations as an instance of poor judgement.
Yet, neither The Print nor Mr. Gupta has even once defended Ms. Panoli’s freedom of expression. Neither have they condemned and castigated the Mamata Banerjee government for it’s deplorable actions against Ms. Panoli.
This instance has clearly shown us readers where the true sympathies of The Print and it’s founder lie. They will always defend a Muslim but never a Hindu.
