Shah listed the retaliatory operations India has carried out in the past decade, citing the 2016 Uri surgical strikes, the 2019 Balakot airstrikes following Pulwama, and now “Operation Sindoor” as examples of India's new doctrine of proactive defense.

However, he noted that India’s air defense systems, significantly bolstered under PM Modi's leadership, intercepted and neutralized every incoming threat, ensuring no harm to Indian civilians.
