The denial of a surgical strike comes after some media reports claimed that the Indian Army had carried out a surgical strike in the Keran sector. The reports said that the strike was carried out in response to the recent terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Indian Army has not commented on the reports. However, the government’s denial suggests that the reports are false.
The denial of a surgical strike is a significant development. It comes at a time when the Indian government is under pressure to take action against terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The government has been criticized for its handling of the Kashmir situation.
The denial of a surgical strike may be seen as an attempt by the government to calm the situation and to avoid further escalation. However, it remains to be seen whether the denial will be enough to satisfy the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The people of Jammu and Kashmir have been demanding action against terrorism for a long time. They have been critical of the government’s handling of the situation. The denial of a surgical strike may not be enough to satisfy the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The government will need to take more concrete steps to address the concerns of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It will need to take action against terrorism and to ensure the safety of the people. Only then will the people of Jammu and Kashmir be satisfied.
