- SYDNEY — Several media outlets across the world have ridiculed the failed
attempt by Pakistan to imitate India's highly-successful and well-conducted
press briefings on Operation Sindoor.
-
- Over the last few days India has conducted regular high-level
joint press conferences in New Delhi during which Foreign Secretary of India,
senior officers from the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy not only shared a
detailed account of the Indian Air Force's precision strikes deep inside the
Pakistani territory but also debunked Pakistan's misinformation campaign with
elaborate proofs, photographs, videos and other details.
-
- The world stood still and applauded as India's top
officers detailed New Delhi's powerful response to Islamabad which was executed
with full operational coordination across air and ground forces, highlighting
the country's growing military prowess.

- Under pressure, Rawalpindi also made a desperate attempt
to hold similar media briefings - addressed by the Director General of
Inter-Services Public Relations (DGISPR) of Pakistan - but failed miserably.
-
- "The Pakistani press conference was an imitation of
the Indian PC with none of the impressive visuals or proofs to back up their
claims," a leading Australian television news channel reported on Monday
saying "commentators were in hysterics" after watching plain
statements being made by DGISPR Lt. General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry.
-
- The foreign media is also pointing out several social
media posts ridiculing Pakistan's efforts to match India's perfectly-executed
and professionally-conducted pressers.
-
- "Hilarious. Pakistan Army held a dramatic press
conference claiming they'd hit targets inside India — from Sirsa to Delhi.
Total copycat of the Indian Army's style. But guess what? ZERO proof. No
videos. No footage. Nothing. What are they, a circus act?" a user wrote on
X.
-
- "They delayed the DG ISPR's press conference by 4
hours… just to come up with this? Even a 5-year-old in India could whip up a
better Power Point than this - and that too during recess," wrote another
user.
-
- "Why is no Pakistani sharing the DG ISPR press
conference... Because, after India's intel-packed briefing, it looks like a
school project gone wrong," posted a user.
-
- Citing more social media posts, foreign media highlighted
that while India eliminates terror camps, downs jets, neutralises 100+
militants, cripples nuke sites — with videos, satellite images and proofs,
Pakistan chose to counter with "WhatsApp forwards and Power Point
fairytales".
-
- On Sunday, the Director General of Military Operations
(DGMO) held a briefing and played a video of India's decisive airstrikes inside
Pakistani territory that began with Shiv Tandav Stotram religious hymn, a
decision that has been praised extensively by Indians all over the world.
-
- Similarly, during Monday afternoon's briefing on
Operation Sindoor, Air Marshal A K Bharti referred to a verse from Ramcharitmanas.
-
- "Yesterday, Shiv Tandav Stotram. Today, a quote from
Ramcharitmanas. What a way to warn the enemy," wrote a social media user.
