Maj. Gen. G.D. Bakshi (Retd.) emphasizes India’s strategy of targeting high-profile, long-established terror camps in Pakistan to eliminate any chance of plausible deniability and deliver a strong message. He points out the operation’s accuracy and caution, deliberately avoiding military targets to prevent further escalation. However, he cautions that any retaliation from Pakistan would warrant a strong Indian response against its terror infrastructure. His stance is clear: the decision for peace or conflict now rests with Pakistan.
