In it, he wrote, “My deepest condolences to the families of those injured and killed in this shameful attack. I pray for the souls of the deceased and strength for their loved ones in the days to come.” He further added, “A respectful request to all: stop stoking the flames with rabble-rousing words. It is not worth the lives of innocent people. May better sense prevail. InshaAllah. Pakistan Zindabad!”

About Operation Sindoor
The operation, which was approved following a high-level security meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 29, targeted key strongholds of banned terror outfits. According to PTI, these included Jaish-e-Mohammad’s base in Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba’s sprawling markaz in Muridke, located near Lahore. Additional targets in PoK included Kotli and Muzaffarabad, known to host camps and training grounds for both LeT and JeM.
The Indian Ministry of Defence, in a statement issued at 1:44 am IST, confirmed the launch of Operation Sindoor, stating:
“A little while ago, the Indian armed forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor,’ hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.”
India Bans Pakistani Actors’ Accounts
Following the horrific Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian government has taken a stricter stance against Pakistani nationals. As part of its broader response, the government has also cracked down on the digital space. Several Pakistani artists’ Instagram accounts are now blocked and inaccessible in India.
