A man from Pakistan has openly supported India’s Operation Sindoor, speaking out against terrorism and his own country’s role in fostering it. Abhay, a Pakistani forex trader and self-identified Hindu, posted a video on Instagram in which he defended the Indian military’s recent action.
“India Had Every Right to Hit Back”
In his video, Abhay said, “I am Pakistani and I will say it straight. India had every right to hit back.” He questioned the double standards shown by some in Pakistan. “First, you attack their people, and when they respond, suddenly it's all about peace, human rights. But where was that same energy when 26 innocent lives were lost?”
His comments came in response to Pakistan’s condemnation of Operation Sindoor, calling it an “unprovoked act of aggression.” Abhay disagreed, saying India was only defending itself. “India never started this. They just responded. And to me, that is not an act of war. That is just justice.”

“Don’t Act Surprised When Terrorism Backfires”
In the video, Abhay highlighted how Pakistan’s policies have backfired. He said, “No one prefers war. Neither India nor Pakistan. But when you start breeding terrorism, don't act surprised when it comes back your way. It's easy to preach peace when it's not your people getting killed.”
He concluded his video with a personal note, saying, “As a Pakistani Hindu, this is my take. Jai Hind.”
What Triggered Operation Sindoor
India launched Operation Sindoor in response to a deadly terror attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, where 26 people lost their lives. On May 7, the Indian military targeted nine terrorist camps linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
According to the Indian Defence Ministry, the operation lasted just 25 minutes and killed over 100 terrorists.
Pakistan’s Retaliation Escalated Tensions
Following the Indian strike, Pakistan responded with intense shelling across the Line of Control (LoC). Areas like Poonch, Balakote, Mendhar, Krishna Ghati, and Mankote came under heavy artillery fire. At least 16 people were killed, and over 50 were injured.
Pakistan also used drones and missiles to target cities across Indian states including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat. However, Indian defence forces intercepted all these attacks successfully.
Ceasefire Agreed—Then Broken
After three days of rising tension, both nations agreed to stop firing along the border. But peace didn’t last. Within hours of the ceasefire, Pakistan reportedly violated the agreement by launching drone strikes in Srinagar and other areas near the border.
