In the past 48 hours, security forces have neutralised terrorists in two separate encounters in Shopian and Pulwama districts of South Kashmir. The latest operation in Awantipora’s Kral area focused on local terrorists suspected of aiding foreign operatives. While search operations continue for those behind the Pahalgam attack, normalcy is gradually returning to Poonch after recent cross-border shelling by Pakistan that resulted in civilian casualties.

00:00Top news this bulletin coming in from Jammu, Kashmir, especially with regard to the cleanup that is being attempted
00:06After the Belga massacre, we're told another big victory coming in for the armed forces
00:10There's been an encounter in Pulwama this time in South Kashmir again and the terrorists are believed to be from the jesh who have been
00:18Neutralized I want to immediately bring in Kamaljeet Sandhu who's tracking all the latest from JNK right now Kamaljeet
00:23Good morning. Tell me about how in 24 hours from Shopia to Pulwama
00:27What are we looking at and both Lashkar and jesh active terrorists in the valley
00:36Well, absolutely the past 48 hours what we've seen is two encounters first was operation Keller in Shopia and this one in
00:44Avantipora's trial area what we can tell you is our sources indicating to us is that it
00:50These are means are safe shake what we also talking about Java, but I'm in Nazir one
00:56These are important local terrorists who are not only
01:00Those tentacles was spreading in in Kashmir Valley
01:04But perhaps also important conduits for all the foreign terrorists
01:08now one thing that has been seen and remember as far as
01:12Action is concerned there has been retribution because remember there is a price to pay beat Pakistan
01:18Beat all these terrorists who have been supporting
01:21Pakistan-aided organizations like Lashkar or Jason Muhammad. So the houses have been torn down. They have been raised to dust
01:29So there is also an attempt now
01:31Be the hinterland beat residential and built up areas or beat the jungles of South Kashmir
01:37There are different operations going on and as a matter of fact
01:40This is why there are the second encounter taking place in the past 48 hours or so
01:45And there would be many more to take place as far as the perpetrators of the hell camp terror attack a concern
01:52Remember, they're continuously still at large, but definitely
01:56Join team be the CRPF the Jammu Kashmir police are are the army
02:01They're all on the job
02:02But meanwhile what we can tell you is this is a big shot in the arm that in 48 hours
02:07This is a second encounter. Remember the names of these terrorists will only be declared
02:12Once the families have identified the kitchen can usually identify and that is why the procedure officially does take pretty long
02:21before the announcement came in but there was the intelligence input coming in that this is probably acid shake and as per
02:28Information this is where they were hiding in a built-up area when the security forces went in
02:33What we've been told is all three have now been neutralized and the process of identification
02:38Retrieving of bodies is on
02:41Kamalji tell me this because at a juncture like this you're in fact reporting from punch which has received extensive damage
02:47Pakistan has tried to harm our innocent civilians
02:49We have lost children as well in poncho with those
02:53Shelling that have come in from Pakistan at a juncture like this if the viewer wondering
02:57But these are not terrorists of bell gum where are the pale gum terrorists?
03:01What is the significance of these terrorists being neutralized?
03:04So put that in perspective of why these encounters as much are important
03:13A pooja, as you know, there was an effort specially there was a
03:17Immediate cordon and search operation which was called in South Kashmir in different districts and that cordon was not easy one
03:23It went into several kilometers
03:24There was also indication coming in that these terrorists could have been trapped because there was some sort of signaling which came through a Chinese
03:32The surveillance product and this is where what they knew was there was some information that they could be hiding somewhere in a hideout
03:39But as the time goes by that whole crowd really dims because remember
03:44These are terrorists who are not touching base with the local terrorists or the overground workers
03:49They're not stopping for food or water. So they are self-sustaining
03:52But this is a para like commando
03:54Which has that kind of a training and remember there is no question of going back because sources say
03:59They are here and they will still await instructions from Pakistan IS or the army before going in for a big big act now
04:06Prime Minister Narendra Modi's already pointed out any sort of a terror attack will be counted as an act of war
04:11So that is a clear indication coming in as far as the Pakistani establishment are concerned
04:16But continuously what we can say that as far as these particular modules are concerned be it several terror attacks taking place
04:23especially on the army
04:26Personnel between punch in the jury a beat the civilians or be it we are see a ship worry
04:31These are number of areas where terror attacks had taken place
04:35But these terrorists are also large
04:37So at what we've been told is that they could be hiding somewhere in the jungles and not necessarily that together
04:43They may spread out be spread out and that is why you have training and remember a long time back
04:50You know these areas even for Jammu Kashmir police or the others were no-go areas because these are dense jungles
04:56but meanwhile
04:56what we know is a search team of at least four to five are going in as part of
05:02Anti-fetine squads and those particular operations of the SOG are going on are be scanning out separate operations
05:09So there is a synergy which is taking place and that is why what we know is
05:13That there is a specific hunt a man-hunt or not just for this particular group
05:17But all terror groups operating out of Jammu and Kashmir now what we be it's a it's a reminder
05:23Kamaljit like you're telling us that despite so much that has been done over the past few years
05:28Pakistan wouldn't want that peace and normalcy in the valley pushing in with their active terrorists and og W's as well
05:33Come on, dude, but tell me this I want to get in a word about punch. What is the situation right now?
05:38I know extremely brave people have suffered for so long from Pakistan shelling but so patriotic
05:45They continue to stand guard at the border with armed forces. But what is the general mood on the ground in punch right now?
05:55Well, what we can tell you is the schools and colleges are yet to open but if you can see
06:00There is this normalcy really creeping in remember people coming out the bazaars are eventually opening up
06:08So there is a sense that things will limb back to normalcy
06:12But yes as far as school students are concerned at least four small children were killed and you know
06:19So yeah, and somehow became the faces especially two twins
06:24Belonging to the knees as well. So Osaka and they are the ones who became the victims, but there are many other
06:30There are at least four Sikh families will be impacted. Yes, so there is a sense of huge loss
06:36These are the people several of these people actually did leave behind and then I came back again
06:42But there were several of the brave hearts who continue I have to say I mean there's incredible courage from border residents
06:47And they are the ones who stand true right now with the armed forces and the nation as well
06:51Despite all that good to see at least some normal city returning, but they've been hit hard by Pakistan shelling
06:56Kamalji, please stay on with me joining me left in general
06:59You know Bhatia the former DGMO as well who understands precisely what happens when these sorts of conversations also take place with Pakistan, sir
07:08What is your understanding right now when we look at these encounters
07:11It's a reminder that India may be doing as much to change and bring normalcy to the valley
07:17But Pakistan will want to create disturbance as much as still now Lashkaran jesh terrorist
07:23Do you believe sir will want to create further?
07:27attacks considering what happened as strikes on Morita K and Bahawalpur
07:32Yes, definitely. They would like to assert themselves and I don't think there's a change in the
07:37Pakistani policy of terrorism right now
07:39Though the cost and consequence of Pakistan supporting president is much higher
07:44They have to pay for it and the Pakistan low-cost high-effect war and actually go a high-cost low-effect war
07:50but the fact remains
07:52That the decimation of will continue all the 14 faces of the Elkhorn terror attack
07:59Will be neutralized some of them already neutralize at least five or six already been neutralized
08:03They've been recognized and these are the tuition off
08:05so these are basically two parts one is in what the distribution of and
08:10Aim is to bring in normalcy in Kashmir
08:14They were probably prevailing
08:16Kashmir was flooded with tourists. It was peace
08:18It was economic development taking place and everything changed after bail down
08:23I think we need to ensure inward that Kashmir is back on the economic development growth
08:29Education employment
08:30Generation and things go on and at the same time the cost of Pakistan is so high that he does not cross a red line
08:37I mean, I'm not I'm not saying that without Sindhu the terrorism will finish off
08:41No, it's not finish off. But there's a big big setback for Pakistan supporting terrorism. It's Pakistan supporting terrorism
08:46We should not call it non-state actors. So there are two things happening
08:49What is Pakistan being punished for world terrorism and second is terrorism?
08:54Within who are there with them and the overall workers within they are being neutralized in a big way and there are
09:01performing operations on such and the
09:04Officials are on they'll be identified and they'll be neutralized captured or neutralized. So these are two things attribution off and
09:11Right and punitive and campaign off with Pakistan. So these are the two strong
09:16strategy
09:18How do you look at the synergy that we have seen in the past few days?
09:22Because you would also understand sometimes when there are multiple agencies and forces working
09:28There is different layer of approach that comes in but this time
09:31Do you believe in the past 10 to 15 days, especially our with operations in do we've seen a certain synergy that has come in?
09:38And that should continue when it comes to JNK
09:42Yes, I think the energy
09:44And
09:46Particle military will it is backed by the particle military capabilities
09:52We have synergized the not only a few forces, but all agencies that is intergencies all of those
09:59Central on police forces. So all this
10:03Actually, so what you see is the particle military will back by military capabilities and a will a
10:10Particle will to employ the military in the right
10:14The quantum in a measured proportionate manner. So I think it will exceedingly well any a and that's also repetition
10:21Let me say as a student of military student of war
10:25Any nation any people will be proud of a military operations carried out and conducted planned and executed
10:31By the military and this is what we see and inwardly to look at it this energy and DNK
10:37Okay forces acting as one the
10:41Unified headquarters giving directions and you see very specific
10:46Targeted operations and you're right. So the impact is seen on the ground
10:51I request you general party to please stay on with me. I have a big news coming in
10:54Let's take a look at that six terrorists killed out of 14 in the hit list of the armed forces
10:58This is important to remember now, they may not be directly linked to the Pahelgaon massacre of 22nd April
11:04But it's also a reminder whether from Jaish or
11:07Lashkar these terrorists active managed to be in the Kashmir Valley and with tip-offs with leads that are coming to armed forces
11:15In joint operation the JKP the the army and of course other forces as well
11:20Ensuring they are neutralized six gone down. Of course, there are some more to go left in general
11:26You know the party a former GGMO continues to be with us
11:29General party of my understanding here is that this is a cleanup in many ways
11:34What would be your advice as much?
11:38To the forces on the ground given your experience about how this needs to keep going
11:45No, I don't think they need my advice they're doing exceedingly well and
11:49Like if I'm very proud of what they're doing and we all are very proud of what they're doing
11:53They don't need my advice. I'm a former soldier and I'm very proud of what they've done
11:57But the fact remains it's a very good at the strategic level at the operational level at the tactical level
12:03I think
12:06Like you said
12:32I
12:40Want to ask you a counter question on that Pakistan sponsored terrorism we've seen all these years
12:44Do you believe in the past few years the local OGW support has come down?
12:50We remember massive protests would happen if there's an operation on in sensitive areas and that would erupt in anger
12:55But now that local supporters relatively come down
12:59Yeah, definitely, you know, I was there last year in June July and the first time in my life I saw Srinagar actually
13:06Having been there a number of times, but I traveled on my own in my own car with the way we went all over
13:12All over and we could pass a car in New Year
13:14That was the that was sort of tourism it was there and what I'm trying to say is actually
13:19If you look at it, JNK was back to normalcy the silent majority, which is there which is about 85% silent majority
13:26They were for economic development there for the whole survival and that is what it came after our after suspension article 370
13:33So that is something which we need to see. Unfortunately after articles we said tonight at 2019 before it came in
13:39I took a little time for the
13:41Kashmiris for public to get the peace dividend
13:44But the peace dividend was visible from 22 23 24 and that is where Pakistan did not like it was losing grip
13:51On the populace the populace when they saw the peace dividend they were for peace
13:55That is a normal man. What do we want?
13:57He wants to he wants to progress he wanted to go to a school schools are open. There's no protest anymore
14:02There's no stone-pilting anymore
14:04So a lot of things have already changed for peace for the better and that is why the setback of the hell
14:09Oh, I think we need to overcome that and what I what I say is we need a four key strategy of Kashmir
14:15the four keys are
14:17education economic development
14:20Generation and empathy for the people of custody. It is not that all customers are there
14:24There's a few of them but empathy for the people of us is very important, especially not only
14:28Especially people outside also like students studying in no outside of Kashmir
14:33So we need to understand that they are our people and we need to guide them properly
14:39We will send them back and tourism has to go back to get back into Kashmir
14:43Development has to take place so that we actually weave them away from the pressures and from the sponsorship of Pakistan
14:51Well said sir. Well said 4e. That's a very important
14:55The men for the the suggestion that has come in because eventually remember to ensure radicalization by Pakistan does not succeed
15:02We have to ensure the constant efforts are on I must tell you that
15:06It's not just about operations and encounters by the Indian Army
15:09They do a lot of social work as much on the ground reaching out to specially young men and women
15:14To be able to tell them that before Pakistan can reach them that
15:19India Indian government Indian public has always meant well for the people of Kashmir and that's been also an important initiative
15:26so let's hope that there will be these few terrorists who want to disturb will be neutralized and how and
15:31Kashmir can return to normalcy like we had seen in the past few years kamaljeet sandhu continues to be with us
15:36Kamaljeet images on our screen six down a
15:40Few more to go but your understanding of when we look at these identities that are coming as confirmed to you and from your sources
15:48What does it mean that there are Jayesh and Lashkar terrorists even now in the Kashmir Valley?
15:53We have known there have been according to a source about 70 to 80 at least
15:56But in the backdrop of Pehelgaon massacre the security grid will have to heighten itself
16:00I
16:05Will look at the two encounters which have taken place there have been six kills so to say
16:10Three Lashkar-e-taiba three Jason Mohammed, but these are local terrorists
16:13So the Pakistani terrorists are still evading that sort of a contact either with a civil population
16:19And it does seem that the security forces have not only activated their intelligence network
16:24And that is why what we see is a joint synergy coming in with the agencies joining in especially in manhunt
16:30For these terrorists, so what we know is the ones neutralized are currently all local terror operatives
16:36The other thing which has now been noticed is that these foreign terrorists of the Pakistani terrorists as they mentioned us
16:42Are not the ones who are actually getting in touch because they feel that the locals could actually compromise their location
16:49And that is why what we see is a difference right here
16:53Because remember they at this point of time seem to be hiding somewhere in the jungles now
16:57These are dense terrain going into kilometers and kilometers and mountainous regions
17:01This is where they have created a hideout and that is why they have actually outlasting so long
17:07But this is just a matter of time
17:08What we know is that as far as a joint synergy is concerned be the army or the police or the CRPF what they've done
17:15Is not only from joint teams
17:16But they are sending in a small number of teams to go into the forested areas to hunt them down
17:22So this is where what we see is it going to be a long procedure as such
17:26but yes since October last year since
17:30Nalin Prabhat who is the new DG?
17:32Remember, he's a non-carder officer and he's been posted to Agbut but with an experience of greyhound. He's been put here
17:39So he's leading the JKP. We've also seen we're talking about
17:44Left in general the army commander. We're talking about General Divedi who's been micromanaging this today Rajdha Singh is there
17:51So it is a joint synergy which is to take place
17:53But clearly the focus were earlier especially at the borders
17:57at the line of control
17:59With a cross-action taking place with the Pakistani army continues with either shelling or for that matter
18:04Missiles being utilized against Indian cities now
18:07The focus has come right back into the operations and these are counter-terror operations
18:11Taking place on either side of people jail and that is why be it Central Kashmir beat north or South Kashmir
18:17This is where operations are taking place even where I'm standing punch Rajouri has seen maximum number of encounters take place
18:24Especially terror attacks taking place where security establishment hand has been targeted. There are operations going on in Riyasi
18:30There are several in Rajouri taking place. So they are on the job
18:34They are looking for certain clues
18:36But remember, it's not just the local terrorists who are or the overground workers
18:40There has been retribution in terms of raising down of houses
18:44There's also a multi-pronged approach where they're looking at not just scouting areas and that is why going out for open information
18:50Announcing rewards as far as giving credible input leading to neutralization of terrorists
18:55so all this is being done as a part of a strategy, but this looks like a long haul and this is where
19:01Security forces from the names that you can bring us as the images on our screen any
19:05One name or two that you think was on the most wanted list because I believe there was one
19:10Especially at the agencies and armed forces had been after
19:15Oh
19:17Yes, definitely as a sheikho who's a resident of trial and what we've been told is all these three including Java Bhatt
19:23They have been part of this then there will be talking about Aamir Nazir Vani
19:28Again, another terrorist, but I'll say Sheikh particularly seems very important person. Remember. He was identified as one of the 14
19:36Who was whose house was raised?
19:39Also, this is an important because remember these are people and earlier some of the links are being touched base that they were part of
19:46His will was I the in later shifted to like just a normal
19:48So what we know from our sources is that back in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir?
19:55There seems to be a synergy taking place of even these terror organizations
19:59And this is where whether they're from lush courageous. They have a common enemy and that is the government of India
20:06The
20:07Kashmir side this local civilians all these and that is why what we see is a
20:13Pahalgam like terror attack taking place targeting innocent civilians innocent
20:18Tourists would come here and this is where in the Indian government has hit back
20:22There's a strong messaging
20:23But clearly a lot more needs to be done and not just at the borders with the guard as God's are not going to be
20:28Down but also in areas of hinterland at line of control in those thick jungles
20:34Where foliage can provide a lot of cover to these particular terrorists?
20:37So yes, whether we're talking about use of UAVs the dog squads
20:41So they are doing a whole lot of things to ensure that they get option
20:46That is why what we see is back-to-back success taking place
20:49But as I mentioned to you at this point of time the success is limit to getting a local terrorist
20:55Meanwhile Pakistani terrorists who have who are battle-hardened are the ones who continue to be at large including the perpetrators of Pahalgam
21:02So this is where there has to be a consolidated action
21:05What we know is there's a synergy coming in be the intelligence ages the security grid all working on the ground and working in
21:12Tandem to ensure that they have better results
21:14But also Kamalji I can't help but notice Shopia, Pulwama, Tral all areas of South Kashmir
21:21So that is where heightened activity is also
21:23I think possibly because of the terrain around the forest that then go into Jammu region as well infiltration made easy
21:30Tell us more about how precisely there is going to be more and heightened alerts in South Kashmir area
21:40See both sides of Pir Panjal and now even Poonch where we standing remember
21:44There's a short area of via POK towards ODI and this is where a lot of locals say the old route would connect both the regions
21:52But if you have a look if you go by road
21:53You'll have to cross the entire region up to Srinagar to go to ODI
21:57So in that particular sense Pakistan does know and their continuous attempt to push in terrorists
22:03I mean while what we can tell you is because of the infiltration taking place and remember these are also important to understand
22:10That these are several kilometers, you know, these mountainous rains are are very difficult. There are thermal images. There's a mechanism
22:17There's also the drones which are being utilized and yet these terrorists do manage to have a certain amount of stealth
22:24Trying to cross over at a point of time where they don't and what we've gone to know is the successes for instance
22:29even during the peak of hostility between India and Pakistan
22:33them pushing in
22:34Terrorists through Samba and they were neutralized by alert BSF. So there are encounters taking place
22:41There is a success and remember even then there were at least seven hard battle hardened terrorists who were neutralized
22:46There were the setbacks in terms of previous injuries to the BSF jawans
22:51But clearly this is an ongoing effort by Pakistan establishment to send in terrorists or to activate the ones who already inside
22:58But there is another strategy because there was information coming in that Jayesh and Lashkar
23:03Headquarters have been hit that there is a possibility of a fedayeen attack
23:07But meanwhile with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi sending a strong message that any act of terror would be counted as an act of war
23:13There seems to be some sort of a whitening down as far as these terror organization are concerned
23:18They seem to be hiding down and it does seem that for the next three four months
23:23They're an estimation that they could be quite
23:26especially both at the borders and the hinterland
23:28But meanwhile, they would be activated at an opportune time to strike back
23:33And that is why the guards can simply not be down because remember these are still at large
23:38They continue to be heavily armed
23:40They continue to hide out and obviously there is one input that whether
23:44They actually get in touch with locals because remember at this point of time the locals are also very annoyed and angry
23:50Towards what has happened not just in Pahalgaon but in Poonch in other areas and there is a time for retribution
23:56Remember security forces are already on the job
23:59They're open thrown the lines so that locals can contact them if they have credible information and in the past
24:05We've seen several encounters being successful because of credible information passed on to Kamal ji, you know
24:11Thank you for this explanation perspective that you're bringing us
24:14It's a reminder that while a lot has changed in J&K
24:18It is constantly a guard up for our security agencies and armed forces because Pakistan wouldn't want to see peace and normalcy in the valley
24:24Especially however for now active terrorists being neutralized one after another
24:29There's a shelf life remember very short
24:31But a reminder Pakistan still infiltrating them defense minister Rajnath saying to meet the heroes the warriors with regard to operations
24:39We're told that he's on route Srinagar will be arriving there in a short while and then will be of course heading from Srinagar City
24:46where there is a badami back badami back and to other areas possibly of the LOC and
24:52Will be meeting the army and Air Force personnel as well
24:55I sure Vani joins me for the latest on that when we keep updating as it went more official confirmation comes in
25:01Ashraf tell me this. What do you think is on agenda after Prime Minister Modi?
25:06defense minister heading to these areas
25:09Yes
25:11Yes, absolutely it is an ongoing process by the government of India not only to boost the morale of the
25:19Indian army and the air force across the country particularly in the areas near line of control
25:23Where actually operation took place operations in door took place?
25:27So under that leg the defense minister of the country Rajnath Singh is
25:32Reaching Srinagar in a short while and then he will be straight going to the core headquarters of 15 core and Pooja
25:38you know, the 15 core is the
25:40is the
25:42Heart of this all action. The 15 core is looking after all the operations across the Kashmir Valley
25:49Starting from line of control to the hinterland to the to the other areas of the Kashmir Valley
25:54So the army chief will be accompanying the defense minister. They will be meeting
26:00the all the core commanders and the other commanders of the
26:05Of the northern command and then the
26:10Defense minister will be heading to the line of control where maximum damage to the civilian property
26:15took place during the operation Sindhu and he will also assess the
26:21process of rehabilitation as well as the
26:23help given by the Indian army itself to the people who are affected by the
26:28shelling of Pakistan on line of control Pooja
26:32Now stay on with me because as we look at the details that are coming in remember
26:35It's a messaging that the top of the civilian leadership political leadership are with the armed forces
26:40And it's not just about boosting the morale the morale has been high of the armed forces
26:44But to also ensure to go to areas in LSE where there possibly has been deliberate damage caused by Pakistan to our innocent civilians
26:51So we'll be tracking that and more
26:53Ashraf as I ask you another question
26:55this also comes at a time when there have been encounters on in the Kashmir Valley and
27:01Terrorists are trying to create more tensions
27:03but stay on with me and because I want first the viewer to listen in to what a prime minister Modi say when he was
27:08At the Adhampur base and of course the address to the nation and that is being followed up now by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh
27:19Koi bhi
27:23Nuclear blackmail
27:26Bharat nahi sahi
27:28Hum a tank is suppressed the Sarkar
27:32Or a tank a co
27:37Alak alak nahi dekhen
27:41Duniya bhi

27:48Is nair was taco some of the way
27:52Or

28:22Bharat is nairoop ko
28:25Is nair was taco some of the way
28:30me on a butter
28:32Meanwhile India today has access more inside details of operation Sindhu and how precise these strikes really were within
28:3925 minutes there were these targeted strikes that happened
28:42But remember starting from Muridke the Lashkar headquarter where it once stood and has now faced heavy damage
28:49To Bahawalpur and then to the military targets as well
28:52Completing a crucial mission mission in less than half an hour during operations in those phase one
28:57It was as much you remember the focus on Brahmos supersonic missile
29:02Live battle for the first time carrying out pinpoint strikes on Pakistan territory even in Punjab province that even Pakistan did not expect
29:11Decimating then later their crucial air base as well. For example, the Nur Khan
29:15Indian Air Force successfully bypassing and jamming Pakistan's Chinese supplied air defense system
29:20This is more crucial the fact that Pakistan tried to harm our innocent civilians on strategic assets our defense systems protected it
29:28But when we hit back again in response, neither could Chinese control system protect it
29:33And of course that there was damage to their
29:36operational terror headquarters and military base
29:38Well, I think the operation was long overdue. That's the first thing
29:43It needed to happen is the second thing and thirdly
29:47I think the operation has been pretty successful from as much as best as I can understand it
29:53Which is not the impression that if you if you look at the more global media, it's been it has been less than
30:01Supportive of India, I think but I see this and that's what I see
30:06I think this was India striking a blow for civilization
30:10Actually, it was just it was a lot more than just the conflict with Pakistan
30:16India today Shivani Sharma joins you for the latest on that Shivani at a time like this when
30:21The defense minister is also on route Kashmir
30:23We are looking at all the satellite imagery evidence with us on the kind of damage that was right to be inflicted and no more
30:30But I like to say that
30:32On the kind of damage that was right to be inflicted and no more
30:35but I
30:37Also find it important what David Vance just said that the international media is being deliberately less than supportive of India
30:44Even at a juncture like this
30:50Pooja actually there was a fake and false narrative that was being portrayed initially with
30:56Certain reports of new york times and certain reports of global times and the allies of pakistan and that includes some western media's
31:04media portals too
31:05So all those facts that were given out were absolutely false and fake because india has now given out enough
31:11Evidence in terms of the pictures that are satellite pictures that have been now
31:17Circulating across all these media houses that are now acknowledging with the latest report of new york times that says
31:24That it was india that was all that was on edge
31:27It was pakistan that has suffered damages from india indian armed forces the skilled armed forces of india
31:34The operational capabilities of india have been dominant over pakistan in last
31:39four to five days when we saw that operation sindoor was taken up with the
31:43precise strikes by our armed forces the ballistic missiles that
31:48Uh damaged and destroyed devastated those outfits of terror in muridke and also in multiple places
31:56and after which we also saw that
31:58Second major attack that was taken up by india after pakistan tried to target the civilians in india was another
32:05Example of how precise were focused and measured our strikes were because we knew where we are hitting
32:12That was a deliberated
32:14focused and carefully chosen target by india
32:17So all these air bases now, uh that are showing damages, uh is quite quite evident puja apart from that the military
32:25Infrastructure inside pakistan that has been hit carefully chosen by the armed forces
32:30The naval front that was active and offensive in the arabian sea which kept the naval maritime assets in control
32:37so everything now is in the open and india is bringing more and more evidences with the
32:42Minute details of this operation that they have over that they have taken up against pakistan's terrorist state
32:48very interesting shivani stay on with me because
32:51Let's listen in to this conversation between uh india today's gaurav savandha and sandeep unnathan
32:56Both senior journalists when it comes to their experience of having specially reported with regard to pakistan
33:01but
33:02About the brahmos missile that was used this time in operation sindoor. What was the impact that had on pakistan? Listen?
33:10Listen
33:11Brahmos three supersonic cruise missile attack at noor khan. Why is this an absolute?
33:18Game changer when it comes to dealing with pakistan's state-sponsored radical islamist terror sandeep
33:25Well gaurav, uh, noor khan airbase was earlier called the chaklala airbase. It is literally the most important
33:32Airbase in pakistan because of its proximity to ghq rawalpindi
33:37It is the base from where the pakistani generals fly in and out
33:41It is a base where all the enablers of the pakistan air force primarily their
33:46Long-range tankers which extend the range of their fighter fleets. They are parked over there the il-78s
33:52But the most important uh installation over here
33:55uh near noor khan airbase is the headquarters of the strategic plans division, which is the
34:01New, uh, you know, which is a military body that oversees pakistan's nuclear weapons program
34:06So literally chaklala is one of the most sensitive airbases of pakistan
34:10There are literally two of them there is chaklala and then there is sargodha
34:13chaklala is the nerve center where all the generals are if uh, general asim munir were
34:20to fly out of the country or uh flee the country
34:23As the case may be he will choose chaklala airbase
34:26Uh noor khan airbase to fly out of that's where all the vvip transports are parked very very very sensitive
34:33Airbase in pakistan one of the most key, uh airbases in pakistan one of two very key airbases in pakistan gaurav
34:41All it took sandeep was 23 minutes
34:4523 minutes to bring a radical islamist state sponsor of terror to its knees that had been blackmailing india
34:52That nuclear blackmail and i'll come to sargodha in just a moment
34:55So we'll talk about the nuclear aspect in just a moment
34:58But 23 minutes to bypass all its radars all its missiles all its air defenses
35:04And take down that country and bring the military to its knees in pakistan
35:09Absolutely gaurav, you know, uh pakistan after the balakot air strikes of 2019 where we struck at the java top
35:15Terror training camp pakistan began to beef up its uh air defense network
35:20They have what is called the comprehensive layered integrated air defense network like our iaccs
35:26So what they decided to do was to go in for a lot of chinese
35:30Radars a lot of chinese missiles now two key
35:33Missiles to this are the hq9, which is the chinese version of the s300 missile
35:38And of course the hq16 which is the version of the russian book missile
35:43So these two radars and missiles were they found a very formidable
35:48Layer of air defense which they've built up over the last five or six years
35:53Uh ground-based air defense systems. They studied the russia ukraine war and of course
35:57uh
35:57The ease with which the indian air force penetrated pakistani airspace to attack balakot
36:03So this is literally the wall of radars and missiles that they had built up around all of their air bases and strategic
36:11locations inside pakistan to compensate for their lack of strategic depth, but
36:16As you mentioned this is what the indian air force penetrated so easily
36:20And targeted all of these sites at will
36:25I want our viewers to also look at the video of the destruction at noor khan airbase because
36:31Once you see it on graphics once you see these harabs and once you see how these systems operate
36:37You must also see the impact of that brahmos supersonic cruise missile
36:43Hitting the noor khan airbase. This is noor khan at rawalpindi
36:48Before and after
36:51Before oh nice all nice and peaceful pakistan's seat of power their spd
36:58uh is is here, which is their
37:01nuclear command and control
37:02Systems their structures their vvip jets fancy jets for their prime minister
37:07For the army chief for the president for other ministers all of them parked here mid-air refuelers c-130s
37:14So, you know that's when they think they're a powerful country
37:17That is what india did to take away that feeling that they are a powerful country
37:23This strike could have destroyed this entire airfield entire airbase
37:28If you can fire one you can fire two three four salvo after salvo after salvo
37:34But the aim was to send across that message and we we spoke to our sources in the government and we asked them
37:40You had the opportunity
37:42Why didn't you fight to finish?
37:45They said the aim is send across that message
37:48Whenever we want we can finish
37:52Right. Now, we are just telling you what our intent is and what our capabilities are
37:58Remember among among all the terror targets that india hit one of the most crucial apart from bahawalpur was muridken
38:04There's a reason for it location and whose terror headquarters. It really was lashkar-e-taiba
38:10One of the one of the headquarters where lashkar-e-taiba which is hafez side's organization
38:16Had been fully functional operational till india's precise strikes hit muridken
38:21This is something possibly pakistan also did not expect that margaz-e-taiba will be reduced to rubble
38:28And now pakistan wants to build it
38:31At a juncture like this remember after muridken as you can see images before and after
38:36All being referred to with evidence and not just claim from india
38:40I want to take you to bahawalpur if muridken was lashkar-e-taiba's headquarters bahawalpur is for the jaysh-e-mohammad
38:47india's precision strike at the
38:49margaz-e-subhan-e-allah
38:50Was seen reduced to rubble heavy damage on the roof of the mosque and not just satellite images
38:55Remember ground evidence as well as much with how there has been a direct impact of the strike. This is where jaysh-e-mohammad
39:03Operatives commanders were training young guns. They were supplying them ammunition and more take a look at this
39:12So clearly reflective of what precisely is happening enough evidence for anyone in the world to realize what pakistan had been doing
39:19all these years and yet
39:21turkish president erdogan
39:24Ratorating support to pakistan and it's not just support turkish says we'll stand with pakistan
39:31Whatever the repercussions would be
39:33He's in fact even added amid the threats that there could be economic losses if tourism is impacted via indians
39:39He says no economic loss will deter turkey to stand with muslim brother pakistan
39:44Now, why did he have to make the statement hundreds of indian tourists?
39:48Feeling disappointed angry that at a time when turkey was helped by india in the aftermath of their earthquake
39:56are now seen
39:58Turkey supporting pakistan
40:00So they're canceling their trips to turkey and azerbaijan as well
40:04Because similar support has come in from azerbaijan as well. But what are the numbers that i'm talking about?
40:09The bookings to istanbul and baku have reduced by 60 percent
40:13Cancellations have surged by over 250 percent indian tourists not the government
40:18Indian tourists are taking this decision by themselves because they can see that even at a juncture like this if you're supporting pakistan
40:25How can you be a friend of india? Why should our money go into your countries with the mass cancellations?
40:30We are told airfares have also declined by approximately 30 percent. There is a
40:35Growing chorus right now boycott turkey boycott azerbaijan
40:40Remember indian tourists have had added to the economy of several nations with regard to tourism
40:46Turkey has been one will that change now?
40:49So
40:51The nefarious terror attack or with the
40:55Missile attack against pakistan in a very we had a very clear stance
41:03We
41:04expressed our support to the pakistani public
41:08and the tension which reached
41:11Reached serious levels and in order to decrease it decrease it
41:14We made efforts the new environment calm environment reached with the ceasefire
41:20Hopefully will facilitate the resolution of all issues including the water issue
41:26as turkey hopefully in the future
41:30during
41:31Difficult days, we are going to continue supporting the pakistani people the possible purpose of these large-scale aerial intrusions
41:40Were to test the ad systems and gather intelligence
41:44Forensic examination of the drone debris is being undertaken
41:49Preliminary reports suggest them to be of assist guard songha drone of turkey
41:56Travel advisory
42:10Boycott
42:12turkey boycott
42:14azerbaijan
42:26Foreign
42:39Foreign
43:09Support
43:25Not just indian tourists but indian educational institutions also are taking a stand the jawaharlal nehru university
43:31Has scrapped the turkey pact a collaboration with turkey with one of our prominent educational institutions
43:37the jnu
43:38Top authorities have said that we stand with nation at this point
43:43And they have decided to cancel a pact a collaboration happened with turkey
43:49Let's uh, listen in now to the chancellor why chancellor about what precisely is the reason that they have taken this decision
43:59I think jawaharlal nehru university being a public university. We are a part of this country. We are on taxpayers money
44:07And we are also a centrally funded university
44:10I think the academia the intellectuals also have a responsibility
44:15towards the nation
44:16number two the armed forces
44:19Many of the generals especially the present army chief and the naval chief are jnu alumni. We are proud of them
44:27Especially the action they did and I think this is a small very small way
44:33And I think every citizen in india is responsible for its national security you cannot expect
44:40Just the prime minister the armed forces to protect you and you do nothing
44:46Remember that this wouldn't be very easy to seven of india's busiest airports delhi mumbai bengaluru, for example are serviced by
44:54Celebi aviation. It's a turkish origin company and
44:58With this hostile stance post pahelgaan, they still continue to handle critical ground ops right now. Could there be security concerns?
45:06With their already social media outreach coming in. Could there be a question mark on turkish aviation firms too?
45:12In this report we tell you more about that
45:15So
45:26Seven of india's 10 busiest airports delhi mumbai bengaluru
45:32Hyderabad chennai ahmedabad and cochin all have one thing in common a connection with turkey
45:38India
45:42All these nerve centers of indian aviation are largely serviced by one company
45:48Celebi a company with origins in turkey a country that has directly and brazenly supported pakistan's aggression and
45:56hostilities against india in the post pahelgaan days
46:00So
46:02Celebi aviation india has a stranglehold over a range of airport services in nine major airports
46:09These include the five biggest airports in india
46:13The company handles everything from passenger services and load control and flight operations to ramp services
46:20Celebi also handles general aviation services cargo and poster services
46:26Warehouses and bridge operation with access to the most sensitive areas of the airport
46:33The numbers are mind-boggling in a recent interview
46:36The company revealed it was handling hundred thousand indian flights every year as well as nearly
46:42550 000 tons of cargo
46:47While the central government is still silent on letting a turkish company handle these sensitive operations
46:53Social media is not it is in fact blowing up with demands
46:57That celebi be booted out in the operation sindoor aftermath and all contracts be terminated
47:04There are calls to boycott the company along with all things turkish
47:09But social media users questioning why celebi aviation has been given ground handling
47:15And cargo at new delhi and other indian airports which have sensitive military areas
47:23Some posts have even suggested a role of one of the daughters of turkish president
47:28Recep tayyip erdogan in the company others have backed the claim and demanded an immediate security review of the company
47:37Celebi is not the only company in the aviation sector feeling the heat
47:41India's largest airline indigo has also been hit by severe social media turbulence
47:47Indigo not only has a code share partnership with turkish airlines and corendon airlines
47:53But also leases its aircraft from both for domestic and international operations
48:03Indigo also has daily istanbul flights between delhi and mumbai
48:08Air india express is also feeling the heat having signed a deal in february with turkish technique
48:14For the maintenance of its boeing 737 fleet
48:19Well sources in the ministry of civil aviation tell us that they are aware of the social media outreach and the boycott turkey campaign
48:27however
48:28Any action will be dependent on the intervention of ministry of external affairs as there are diplomatic ties involved between india and turkey
48:36Well, it's a wait and watch situation karishma sadani reporting for business today television new delhi
48:42That note i'm wrapping up this bulletin for now, but stay tuned
