'India's tolerance should not be mistaken for weakness': NSA Ajit Doval
NEW DELHI: India's intelligence agencies demonstrated exceptional skill, swiftly identifying and neutralizing the perpetrators of the brutal Pahalgam attack, according to National Security Adviser Ajit Doval. The NSA, a key figure in the country's response to the April 22, 2025 incident that left 26 innocent lives in its wake, declared that India was prepared to take "any" measure to protect its sovereignty.
Doval emphasized that India's increased tolerance for terrorist acts should not be misconstrued as weakness. He reminded the world that the nation would endure "the last drop of blood" in defense of its people.
The terrorists had brazenly taunted Indian leadership, daring the government to respond, Doval recalled. In retaliation, Operation Sindoor was launched with the primary objective of dismantling enemy camps linked to the Pahalgam attack. The operation was a testament to India's growing technological and military prowess, Doval stated. The NSA's comments underscored the firm message India sent to the world: its generosity and tolerance were not signs of vulnerability.
