CHENNAI: National Security Advisor Ajit Doval on Friday slammed foreign media for their reportage of Operation Sindoor, challenging them to give proof of damage to Indian infrastructure by Pakistani strikes.
Addressing at the 62nd convocation of IIT Madras, Ajit Doval talked about Operation Sindoor, where he highlighted 'biasness' of foreign media when it comes to covering India's interests. He said that Foreign media reported that "Pakistan did this and that" but images only show damage done by Indian Air Force on Pakistan's bases.
"Foreign press said that Pakistan did that and this. You tell me one photograph, one image, which shows any damage to any Indian (structure), even a glass pane having been broken. They wrote these things. The images only showed 13 air bases in Pakistan before and after 10th May, whether it was in Sargodha, Rahim Yar Khan, Chaklala." NSA Doval said.
"I am only telling you what the foreign media put out on the basis of images. We are capable of doing it (damage to Pakistani air bases)," he added.
On the intervening night of May 9th and 10th, the Indian Air Force with active support of other forces struck Pakistani Air Bases spanning the length and breadth of the country and in the process also, crippled their Chinese supported Air Defence systems.
