Amid the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the dust of misinformation is slowly and steadily settling. While at one place, Pakistanis continue to celebrate their so-called victory over India, the 'master of denial', <a title="Pakistan's PM" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/pakistan-caught-cam-making-big-confession-nur-khan-air-base-know-what-said" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan's PM</a>, recently confessed that India carried out precision strikes that damaged multiple military sites, including Nur Khan Air Base. In the meantime, Congress Kerala and multiple social media users are sharing a write-up and a viral video with the claims that India's External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar informed Pakistan about <a title="Operation Sindoor" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/operation-sindoor-member-multi-party-delegations-launch-indias-global-diplomatic-blitz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Operation Sindoor</a> in advance.
In the viral video, S Jaishankar can be heard saying, "Because even at the start of the operation, we had sent a message to Pakistan, saying we are striking at terrorist infrastructure; we are not striking at the military, so the military has an option of standing out and not interfering in this process. They chose not to take the good advice."
Kerala Congress shared the video and wrote, "Please tell us that this video is AI generated. Cannot believe that he is our Foreign Minister and said this. This is almost like demonetisation. People who had black money knew what was coming and rest of country was clueless. Masterstroke indeed!"

Truth behind S Jaishankar's comment on India informed Pakistan about Operation Sindoor in advance
Central Government's Press Information Bureau (PIB) fact-checked Kerala Congress' post that shared a video of Jaishankar saying that India informed Pakistan about Operation Sindoor in advance. Sharig the video, PIB wrote, "Social media posts quoting EAM @DrSJaishankar &nbsp;are implying that India gave advance information to Pakistan about #OperationSindoor..EAM is being misquoted, and he has not made this statement."
<img src="https://tsnapi.truescoopnews.com/newsContent/1747459883550" alt="">
PIB also shared one more link that claimed that as per Jaishankar, India informed Pakistan about Operation Sindoor in advance. PIB fact-checked it and clarified, "The social media post falsely implies from External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar's statement that India informed Pakistan before the start of #OperationSindoor.. EAM is being misquoted, and he has not made this statement.. Remain vigilant and avoid falling for deceptive information."
Notably, PIB saying Jaishankar has been misquoted as a News Wire has published a write-up in which it claimed that Jaishankar made these remarks while talking to reporters outside Honduras Embassey. As a result, PIB is saying that Jaishankar is being misquoted and he never made this remark.&nbsp;
The news wire quoted Jaishankar further saying, "Once they got hit as badly as they did, on the morning of May 10, and all of you have seen the satellite pictures which bring out very graphically how much damage we did. By the way the satellite pictures also bring out how little damage they did (to India), these pictures will tell you what a hit they took.&nbsp;The same people who were not willing to stand down on 7th May are willing to talk and stand down the 10th of May; it is very clear who wanted the cessation of firing."

New geopolitical tensions seem to be brewing after India and Pakistan agreed to a temporary ceasefire. It seems like all is not well between New Delhi and Washington ever since <a title="US President Donald Trump" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/don-manufacture-india-there-need-donald-trump-apple-ceo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US President Donald Trump</a> bypassed India to announce the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Trump has announced the ceasefire between India and Pakistan even before both countries made it official. Not only this, but Trump also alleged that he is ready to mediate the Kashmir issue. Notably, New Delhi's stance is clear on the Kashmir issue, and that is that it will resolve bilaterally with Pakistan.&nbsp;
A few days later, US President Donald Trump alleged that he had threatened India and Pakistan that America would stop doing trade if they didn't agree to a ceasefire. After a plethora of claims that put the Modi Government under the scanner, whether he has accepted external interference in the country's issue or not. Finally, India's MEA rejected the claims made by Trump and stated that there were no talks on trade. The MEA clarified that the ceasefire agreement was reached directly through military-to-military channels between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan. This debunks Trump's claim that the US forced both countries into a ceasefire after long night negotiations.&nbsp;
Arguably angry by India's rejection, Trump during a press conference informed that he had talked to Apple's CEO and asked him not to shift the company's base to India. Instead, move back to the US. "They can take care of themselves," said Trump. However, despite Trump's interference, Apple went ahead with its India plans.&nbsp;

The second special press briefing on Operation Sindoor took place on Monday afternoon by the DGMOs of the three Indian Armed Forces. The media briefing took place after it was reported that the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan had rescheduled for 5:30 pm. Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, Vice Admiral AN Pramod, and Air Marshal Avdhesh Kumar Bharti addressed the media about Operation Sindoor on Monday as well.&nbsp;
Addressing the media, DG Air Operations Air Marshal AK Bharti said, "We also reiterated that our fight was with terrorists and their support infrastructure and not with the Pakistan military. However, it is a pity that the Pakistan military chose to intervene and bat for the terrorists which compelled us to respond in kind."
"... Numerous waves of drones and unmanned combat aerial vehicles employed by Pakistan were also thwarted by the indigenously developed soft and hard kill counter-UAS systems and the well-trained Indian Air Defence personnel.
DG Air Operations Air Marshal AK Bharti further said, "This brings me to the point, how have Indian Forces managed to minimise the damage to both civilians and military infrastructure in the country, in spite of unrelenting efforts by the Pakistani forces. Most of you and the majority populace within the country have had a lot of say about the layered and integrated air defence systems put in place by the Armed Forces, which include the assets of the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force. This robust AD system comprises a large variety of multi-layered AD sensors and weapons systems."
"... Some of the results achieved in encountering the enemy threat vectors over the last week are now being shown on the screen. PL-15 missile, which is of Chinese origin; this missile has missed its target, and you can see the pieces of it that are available with us. Another weapon that was found was long-range rockets. We have talked about the Loiter munitions and unmanned aerial systems... All these have been brought down by our trained crew and Air Defence system," added DG Air Operations Air Marshal AK Bharti.&nbsp;

<h2>How did the Indian Air Defence System thwart Pakistani Missiles and Drones?</h2>
DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said, "In the last few years, the character of terrorist activities has changed. Innocent civilians were being attacked.. 'Pahalgam tak paap ka ye ghada bhar chuka tha'..."
DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai further said, "Targetting our airfields and logistics is way too tough... I saw that <a title="Virat Kohli" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/something-deeply-personal-virat-kohli-retires-test-international-ahead-england-tour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> has just retired from test cricket; he is one of my favourites. In the 1970s, during the Ashes between Australia and England, two Australian bowlers destroyed the batting lineup of England, and then Australia gave a proverb - "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Thommo don't get ya, Lillee must". If you see the layers, you'll understand what I am trying to say. Even if you crossed all the layers, one of the layers of this grid system will hit you ."

Pakistan, which is infamously known as the 'master of denial', recently confessed that India hit the <a title="Nur Khan Air Base" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/pakistan-admits-indian-strikes-hit-nur-khan-airbase-bjps-malviya-shares-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nur Khan Air Base</a> situated in Rawalpindi. For the unversed, <a title="India" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/operation-sindoor-member-multi-party-delegations-launch-indias-global-diplomatic-blitz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a>, in retaliation for Pakistan's escalation, targeted the country's multiple air bases, including the Nur Khan Airbase, which is said to be one of the most important for the Pakistan Armed Forces. While India's DGMO presented satellite images showcasing India gave a befitting reply to Pakistan's escalation, including damaging Nur Khan Airbase. The 'master of denial' never accepted, and instead, the people of Pakistan started celebrating the so-called victory over India.&nbsp;
With India and Pakistan having reached a temporary ceasefire understanding, slowly and steadily, the truth is prevailing, and Pakistan's fantasy bubble of defeating India is bursting. This can be understood by the fact that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has admitted to India&rsquo;s precision missile strike on the Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi and other sites, revealing that Army chief General Asim Munir personally called him at 2:30 am on the intervening night of May 9 and 10 to inform him about the attack during the Operation Sindoor.
Amit Malviya, the head of BJP's National IT Department and Co-incharge of West Bengal, emphasised the gravity of the moment, saying that Sharif himself acknowledged the bombing of Nur Khan Air Base and other locations.&nbsp;He described the event as a testament to the boldness and efficiency of Operation Sindoor.
"Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif himself admits that General Asim Munir called him at 2:30 a.m. to inform him that India had bombed Nur Khan Air Base and several other locations. Let that sink in -- the Prime Minister was woken up in the middle of the night with news of strikes deep inside Pakistan. This speaks volumes about the scale, precision, and boldness of "Operation Sindoor," Malviya wrote on Friday on his official X account.
Initiated in response to a Pakistan-backed terror attack in Pahalgam, the operation saw India launch decisive airstrikes against key Pakistani military installations, including Nur Khan Air Base in Rawalpindi.
<h2>Why is Nur Khan Airbase significant for Pakistan?</h2>
Located just 10 km from Pakistan's capital Islamabad, the Nur Khan air base is a critical logistical centre for the Pakistani military, which also plays a major role as a transportation hub.&nbsp;Seated near Pakistan&rsquo;s Strategic Plans Division, which oversees and protects the country&rsquo;s nuclear arsenal, Nur Khan also hosts PAF College &ndash; a training college &ndash; and Fazaia Inter College Nur Khan. It also surrounds Benazir Bhutto International Airport.

The 'master of denial', Pakistan, which has never accepted any damages in the Indian airstrike, including on the Nur Khan Air Base, has now finally started to confess.
