'The fight was with terrorists, the Pak army made it their war'
Bharti made it clear in the briefing that India's fight was with the terrorists and not the Pakistani army. Reiterating the fact, he said, "The damage to Pakistan was something they brought upon themselves."
"Our fight was with terrorists and their support infrastructure and not with the Pakistan military," said Air Marshal AK Bharti
"However, it is a pity that the Pakistan military chose to intervene and bat for the terrorists, which compelled us to respond in kind," he added.
'You're indeed the best'
Meanwhile, the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai hailed the "140 crore countrymen" for supporting the Indian Army during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, under which nine terror sites were targeted in PoK and Pakistan.
