Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday reiterated that under Operation Sindoor, India only targeted terror bases in Pakistan. But subsequent cross-border drone attack attempts by Pakistan proved that it's involvement in sponsoring terrorism. 

Addressing BSF's Ivestiture Ceremony at New Delhi, Shah said that India neither targeted the Pakistan Army's installations nor air bases during Operation Sindoor. On the 8th, only Jaish-e-Muhammad, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hizbul Mujahideen headquarters and training camps were destroyed he added. "We thought it was enough, but Pakistan proved that it sponsors terrorism."

"Pakistan, considering the attack on terrorists as an attack on itself attacked civilian locations and military establishments in our country...When the Pakistani army tried to attack our civilian bases and our military establishments, the Indian army gave a strong reply. It demonstrated their firepower by attacking their airbases...," he said.
