Did Pak PM’s ‘Copycat’ Meeting with Soldiers Reveal Lies about ‘Operation Sindoor’?

New Delhi, May 15 (NationPress) The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, made a visit to an Army cantonment located in Sialkot, Punjab province on Wednesday evening to show support for the soldiers.

However, what should have been a morale-boosting event for the Pakistani Defence forces ended up being an ‘embarrassing and dishonorable’ occasion due to the setting and atmosphere in which the Pakistani PM engaged with them.

Shehbaz Sharif’s meeting with the soldiers is perceived as a blatant attempt to mimic the efforts of his Indian counterpart, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in sending a message to the global audience.

While India’s military strength was showcased during PM Modi’s visit to a Punjab airbase, the Pakistani establishment not only failed in terms of optics but also inadvertently revealed its shortcomings, fabrications, and the significant destruction it suffered during India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’.

On the morning of May 10, as India launched attacks on multiple airbases in response to escalating tensions, Pakistan resorted to a series of false claims, alleging that it had downed Indian jets, demolished its airbases, and even captured an air force personnel. All these assertions were categorically dismissed by India.

Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the airbase effectively unmasked Pakistan’s web of deceit and debunked all its claims.

During his visit to the Adampur airbase, a key forward position that Pakistan claimed to have targeted in its airstrikes, PM Modi met with soldiers against the backdrop of India’s renowned air defense systems and fighter jets, whereas the Pakistani PM’s interaction took place in a desolate area lined with tanks and aircraft parked far away.

The images released by the Prime Ministers' offices of both nations starkly illustrate the contrasting settings in which they addressed their respective soldiers.

This contrast highlights the extensive damage suffered by Pakistan and its airbases due to Indian bombing. The Pakistani PM’s meeting with soldiers in a barren field only serves to confirm this.

The Pakistani PMO shared images of Shehbaz Sharif with troops but did not include any visuals of airstrips or runways, implying that its airfields had experienced significant damage from Indian strikes. The most notable image featured Shehbaz Sharif standing on an army tank addressing the soldiers.

Sharif’s gathering with the Pakistani jawans has been widely mocked on social media, with many labeling it a copycat meeting attempting to emulate the Indian style of honoring its brave soldiers, yet failing miserably.

In sharp contrast, PM Modi’s visit to the Adampur airbase was rich in symbolism and messaging, showcasing how the nation and the Indian Air Force remain steadfast in the face of drone and missile threats.

PM Modi's images with soldiers, against the backdrop of S-400 defense systems and MiG29 aircraft right next to the airfield, conveyed a powerful message. Additionally, he arrived at the airstrip aboard a Hercules aircraft, confirming that there was no damage to the Adampur airbase.

All these events highlight Pakistan’s theatrics and grandiose claims despite being significantly diminished by the Indian military during the May 10 operations.

This was clearly encapsulated in PM Modi’s stirring address at the airbase, where he declared that when our soldiers chant ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, the enemy quakes in fear.

He also honored the brave soldiers for teaching Pakistan a lesson, asserting, ‘ghar mein ghus ke maarenge’.

Importantly, reports from international outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, have indicated that Indian forces inflicted severe damage on Pakistani airfields during 'Operation Sindoor'.
