The tension between India and Pakistan that was going on for the last several days ended on Saturday evening. US President Donald Trump announced ceasefire between the two countries. Since then, there is peace on the border of both the countries. After the Pahalgam terrorist attack, there was peace on the LOC on Sunday night. Meanwhile, talks were to be held between the DGMOs of both the countries today, but it has been postponed for now. Now talks between the two are proposed in the evening. Meanwhile, the DGMOs of the three armies addressed the press conference. Let's know what was said?
Air Marshal AK Bharti said that our fight was against terrorism and terrorists, so we attacked only terrorist hideouts on 7 May. It is unfortunate that the Pakistani army thought it appropriate to support the terrorists and made this fight their own fight. In this situation, our retaliation was extremely necessary and whatever loss they suffered in this, they themselves are responsible for it. Our air defense system stood like a wall for the country and it was impossible for the enemy to penetrate it. He showed the picture of the targets targeted by the Indian Air Force during Operation Sindoor.

DGMO Lieutenant General Rajeev Ghai said that we need to understand the air defense action of Operation Sindoor in a context. In the last few years, the character of terrorist activities was changing, now along with our army, innocent people were also being attacked. Pilgrims going to Shivkhodi temple in 2024 and innocent tourists in Pahalgam in April this year. By Pahalgam, their cup of sin was full, because our precise attacks on terrorists were carried out by crossing LOC and IB, we had full apprehension that Pakistan's attack would also come from across the border, so we had prepared for air defense. When Pakistan Air Force attacked our air field and logistic installation on 9-10 May, they failed in front of this strong air defense grid.

Air Marshal AK Bharti said that I want to say in very clear words that all our military bases and all equipment and systems are operational and are ready and prepared for their next mission if required.

DGMO Lieutenant General Rajeev Ghai said that it is very difficult to target our airfields and logistics. I saw that Virat Kohli has recently retired from Test cricket, he is one of my favorite players. During the Ashes between Australia and England in the 1970s, two Australian bowlers destroyed the batting lineup of England and then Australia coined a saying - ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Thomas does not catch you, Lily will catch you. If you see the layers, you will understand what I am trying to say. Even if you cross all the layers, one of the layers of this grid system will kill you.
DGMO Lieutenant General Rajeev Ghai said that you saw the plight of Pakistan airfields earlier and yesterday and the presentation of the Air Marshal today. Our airfields are operational in every way. Pakistan's drones were destroyed due to our grid. I appreciate our Border Security Force here, due to which Pakistan's nefarious activities were destroyed. The Indian Army has shown the debris of a possible PL-15 air-to-air missile, which is manufactured in China and which was used by Pakistan during the attack on India. The debris of Turkish-made YIHA and Songar drones shot down by India has also been shown.
