Claim
After the Pahalgam attack, India launched Operation Sindoor to punish the terror apparatus operating from Pakistan.
“पेलम हमले के बाद उस नीतिगत बदलाव का आह्वान किया गया, जिसके बाद भारत ने पार्क में आतंकी गतिविधियों को अंजाम देने वाले तंत्र को दंडित करने के लिए ऑपरेशन सिनिंदू शुरू किया।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The claim matches the established record: after the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, striking terror infrastructure of Pakistan-based groups (Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba) in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. India's stated aim was to punish the terror apparatus, consistent with the anchor's statement. The Hindi transcript garbles the names ('ऑपरेशन सिनिंदू', 'पार्क में' for Pahalgam/Sindoor), but these are transcription artifacts, not factual errors in the claim as stated.
