Overview

• Operation Mahadev saw a joint Indian Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police operation in Dachigam eliminate three militants linked to the April 22 Pahalgam massacre.
• Home Minister Amit Shah said forensic and ballistic tests confirmed the slain suspects were Pakistani nationals and senior Lashkar-e-Taiba commanders, a claim Islamabad denies.
• Opposition MPs demanded Prime Minister Modi address the Upper House on Operation Sindoor, staged a walkout when their request was refused and accused the government of politicizing national security.
• BJP leaders, including J.P. Nadda and Amit Shah, hailed the precision strikes as proof of decisive political will against terrorism and contrasted it with previous administrations’ responses.
• India has enshrined Operation Sindoor as part of its anti-terror doctrine under a sustained ceasefire, rejecting third-party mediation and maintaining cross-border pressure on terror infrastructure.
