New Delhi, May 7 (NationPress) National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval engaged in discussions with his peers, high-ranking security officials, and diplomats from prominent global nations just hours after India executed targeted strikes on nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) as part of 'Operation Sindoor'.
Sources have verified that NSA Doval conferred with US NSA and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, UK NSA Jonathan Powell, Saudi NSA Musaid Al Aiban, UAE NSA Sheikh Tahnoon, NSC Secretary General Ali Al Shamsi, Japanese NSA Masataka Okano, Russian NSA Sergei Shoigu, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and Emmanuel Bonne, the Diplomatic Advisor to President Emmanuel Macron of France.
Throughout the discussions, NSA Doval updated his counterparts on India’s actions and elaborated on how the strikes on terror facilities operated by Pakistan-based groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Hizbul Mujahideen, and Lashkar-e-Taiba were calculated, non-escalatory, and executed with restraint. He emphasized that India seeks to avoid escalating tensions but is fully equipped to respond if Pakistan decides to retaliate.
This diplomatic outreach is interpreted as India’s initiative to keep the global community informed while seeking their understanding and backing. Analysts believe this forms a part of a larger diplomatic plan to position India’s actions as aligned with the global struggle against terrorism.
The strikes on Tuesday night targeted sites in Bahawalpur, Sialkot, Kotli, Muzaffarabad, and Barnala, where several significant terrorist camps were operating. These locations were known to have trained terrorists implicated in previous attacks on Indian territory, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the 2023 Poonch pilgrimage incident.
Officials stated that the NSA will maintain communication with his global counterparts as the situation unfolds.
Experts assert that India’s message is unequivocal: while pursuing peace, it will not hesitate to counter terrorism. Simultaneously, by engaging with key international figures, India is facilitating global support and working to prevent further escalation.
