This whole controversy comes just months after Operation Sindoor. That operation launched in the early hours of May 7, following a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, in April that killed 26 civilians.
Operation Sindoor triggered four days of intense fighting between India and Pakistan before both sides agreed to a ceasefire on May 10.
