Prime Minister Modi, among many others, has hailed the brave and precise execution by the armed forces. It needs no mention that this was a response to the barbaric Pahalgam attack by terrorists India claims were backed by Pakistan—a claim outrightly denied by the latter.

Venturing into a nation's territory militarily is an extreme move that breaches the principle of sovereignty. It must be, therefore, backed by conclusive evidence, and not half-baked theories and speculations.
