India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri revealed the objective of the Pahalgam terror attack in the press briefing held on Wednesday (May 7) and said that it was done to undermine the normalcy returning to Jammu and Kashmir. He added that it was done to impact economy and tourism in teh Kashmir valley, stating that a record 23 million tourists visited J&amp;K in 2024.
"The attack was clearly driven by the objective of undermining the normalcy returning to Jammu and Kashmir. In particular, it was designed to impact the mainstay of the economy, tourism, with a record 23 million tourists visiting the valley last year. The calculation, presumably, was that harming growth and development in the Union Territory would help keep it backwards and create fertile ground for continued cross-border terrorism from Pakistan. The manner of the attack was also driven by the objective of provoking communal discord, both in Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the Nation. It is to the credit of the government and the people of India that these designs were foiled," Misri said in the briefing.

As geopolitical tensions escalated following India&rsquo;s launch of Operation Sindoor, financial markets across the subcontinent responded sharply but asymmetrically.

The Indian stock market ended Wednesday&rsquo;s session on a muted but steady note, with the Sensex closing near the 80,800 mark and the Nifty finishing just above 24,200.

The Sensex closed in the green, up over 100 points after a volatile session during which the index see-sawed between gains and losses.

However, strong intraday recoveries were led by gains in defence and aerospace stocks such as Hindustan Aeronautics, Bharat Dynamics, BEL, Mazagon Dock, and Paras Defence, which rose between 1.3 per cent and 4 per cent amid expectations of increased government spending on strategic sectors.

Indian financial markets are in an initial turmoil following the airstrike by the Indian Armed Forces. GIFT Nifty, a key indicator for Indian equities, started on an upward trend, trading at 24,446.5, marking an increase of 0.91%, trading up by 220 points. This reflects the bullish opening of Indian Equities today. This also implies institutional investors are expecting limited escalation and a swift containment of the conflict.

It is also to be noted that this resilience comes on the back of strong corporate earnings reported in the previous sessions and sustained FPI inflows in a few select sectors.&nbsp;

The parallel can be drawn with the past events, such as the 2019 Balakot air strikes, where NIFTY 50 experienced a modest 1.8% decline, suggesting that markets often stabilise even after initial volatility if further escalation is avoided. The sharpest market correction was during the Indian Parliament attack on December 13, 2001, by -13.9%.
Investors are eager about statements from the Indian government, military and diplomatic channels to monitor the possibility of further escalation or resolution.
Sectors such as defence, aviation, energy and gold-linked investments are likely to remain in focus.
With trading sentiment delicately balanced between geopolitical developments and economic fundamentals, markets could swing in any direction.

What is an FTA and why does it matter? Historical Context The parallel can be drawn with the past events, such as the 2019 Balakot air strikes, where NIFTY 50 experienced a modest 1.8% decline, suggesting that markets often stabilise even after initial volatility if further escalation is avoided. The sharpest market correction was during the Indian Parliament attack on December 13, 2001, by -13.9%. Investors are eager about statements from the Indian government, military and diplomatic channels to monitor the possibility of further escalation or resolution. Sectors such as defence, aviation, energy and gold-linked investments are likely to remain in focus. With trading sentiment delicately balanced between geopolitical developments and economic fundamentals, markets could swing in any direction.

Market jittery following Operation Sindoor: What is the sentiment of investors?

Briefing the country on Operation Sindoor, women officers Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri have said that the Pahalgam terror attack is the biggest attack on Indian civilians after the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. They said that the main reason for the attack was to hamper the tourism and development of Jammu and Kashmir. They also said that the attack was done to provoke religious riots in the country.
Naming 'The Resistance Front' (TRF), Misri said that Lashkar-E-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) used the group for terror activities in India. He also said that Pakistan has a history of shielding terror groups and terror outfits. He said that the Pakistani government has not taken any step in handling the terror groups but has resorted to blame game.
"Pakistan has emerged as safe haven for terrorists in the world. Banned international terrorists find it safe from being punished in this country. Pakistan is also known for deliberately misleading the world and international platforms...Despite a fortnight having passed, there has been no demonstrable step from Pakistan against terrorists' infrastructure in its area," Misri said.
Further, Misri highlighted that India exercised its right to respond under Operation Sindoor.
"Our intelligence indicated that further attacks against India are impending. Thus, compulsion, both to deter and prevent and hence earlier this morning, India exercised its right to respond to deter such more cross-border terrorism... Our actions were measured and non-escalatory, proportionate and responsible. They focused on dismantling terrorists' infrastructure," Misri added.

"This operation underscores India&rsquo;s resolve to hold perpetrators accountable while avoiding unnecessary provocation," the Defence Ministry statement added.

After the attack, India launched a series of actions against Pakistan. The Indian government put into abeyance the Indus Waters Treaty, expelled its diplomats, called back Indian officials from Islamabad, and closed the Attari border, its airspace for Pakistani flights and ships, parcels and imports from Pakistan. New Delhi has also blocked the Instagram accounts of several Pakistani cricketers and celebrities. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said, "I say to the whole world. India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the earth." World leaders have urged both countries to exercise restraint but have also sided with India in its fight against terror.
