Why Is Pakistan Furious Over NDTV’s Operation Sindoor Revelations?

It's incredible. The latest episode of an NDTV podcast & a TV documentary on Op Sindoor have triggered a state-level meltdown in Pakistan. The latest episode of NDTV’s hugely popular Ctrl-Alt-Defence podcast with recently retired Vice Chief of the Air Staff Air Marshal Nagesh Kapoor has revealed extraordinary new details about some of Operation Sindoor’s most sensitive missions. And those disclosures have exploded into headlines. For the first time, official confirmation that women fighter pilots conducted some of the air strikes. New details of BrahMos operations that hit Pakistani bases in the south. And the extraordinary dilemma over whether India should strike military targets inside Karachi city itself. More than a year after Sindoor, the podcast has clearly touched a very raw nerve across the border. Pakistan’s DGISPR has now issued a lengthy, furious rebuttal, raging against India’s account of the operation and accusing India of rewriting history. India has often times been criticised for winning the battle, but losing the information war. But tonight, you have a fuming Pakistan, triggered to the extreme by one episode of an NDTV podcast and a TV documentary on Op Sindoor. And that should tell you quite a bit about who has a bigger point to prove.
