Pakistan flustered by Operation Sindoor movie, army reacts at 2am: 'Tragedy and comedy'
The Discovery docuseries "Declassified: Operation Sindoor" premiered on August 15.
Pakistan's armed forces spokesperson, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif, expressed frustration on Tuesday morning at 2am over a documentary titled "Operation Sindoor." The documentary, released by Discovery's Declassified series on August 15, purportedly features senior Indian leadership participating in the controversial military operation.
Sharif claimed the documentary misrepresents the operation, altering facts and rewriting the outcome. The documentary allegedly contains "selectively edited interviews, emotional narration and cinematic Bollywood style reconstruction" to fabricate a narrative. Sharif also accused the documentary of contradicting established facts, exposing attempts to manufacture a domestically friendly version of events.
The operation, launched in May 2023, was in retaliation for a deadly terror attack at Baisaran meadow that killed 26 tourists, including one Nepali citizen. The Resistance Force (TRF), linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The operation took place during US Vice-President JD Vance's visit to New Delhi.
Sharif criticized India for not declassifying the truth, instead creating a propaganda piece to portray the operation as a success. He insisted that the documentary's portrayal of events is inaccurate and fails to acknowledge the operational record, battlefield evidence, and diplomatic exchanges that support India's narrative.
