We could not leave the Pakistani terrorists with the impression that they can kill civilian tourists and get away with impunity. They had to be punished. But at the same time, an indiscriminate action on our part could have endlessly provoked an escalation and lost us the world’s sympathy… The Operation was carried out at night. The message is clear: We want to avoid collateral damage. We are not interested in killing innocent people like the terrorists themselves…”

He added, “We took great care to ensure that we did not strike any Pakistani military installations or government facilities… We don’t want to convey the impression that we are aching for a war… So now that the world is calling for restraint, the restraint is not on us. The onus is on Pakistan not to overreact. But Pakistan has reacted very cruelly with heavy artillery shelling in civilian areas… We are not putting our foot on the escalatory ladder. The ball is in Pakistan’s court. But we don’t have any terrorist bases in India. So they can only attack the army, civilians or the government of India. If they do that, we will give them absolute hell… Our people are fully alert and ready in the event of any Pakistani misadventure.” (ANI)
