Pak's Own Dossier Confirms India's Precise Strikes

"India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the Earth," Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared on April 24 in Madhubani, Bihar—his first public response to the massacre of 26 Indians in Pahalgam two days earlier.

Modi, known for speaking in Hindi even on global platforms, made a deliberate shift to English mid-speech, ensuring that the message carried beyond India's borders. The change in language reflected a change in posture—firm, direct, and unapologetic.

Three weeks later, the Government of Pakistan unwittingly confirmed just how far that message travelled—and how deeply it struck. A dossier published by Islamabad on May 18, intended to build an international case against India, ends up doing the opposite. It offers detailed confirmation of the scale, reach, and precision of India's military operation inside Pakistan, carried out in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack.
