Battling The Air Waves

The battle is not just being fought on land and in air but also in the media, both social and mainstream, Indian and Western.

India has fielded some of its best voices, apart from the daily briefings, conducted in a measured, restrained manner by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri along with Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh.

There are other envoys too such as Vikram Doraiswamy, India's High Commissioner to the UK. During an interview to the western media, when Doraiswamy was asked to counter Pakistan's claim that India was supporting the Baloch Liberation Army, he pulled out a photograph of uniformed Pakistan Army personnel standing beside a known terrorist Hafiz Abdul Rauf along with members of the banned Jamaat ud Dawa near the coffins of three terrorists killed during Operation Sindoor and asked, "If you are giving terrorists state funerals what does that say about your system and the terrorist infrastructure?" Our ambassador to the US, Vinay Kwatra nailed it when he was asked as to whether India was at war with Pakistan. He replied that, India is at war with terrorism.
