Which one of the following statements with regard to Indias surgical s...
The correct statement regarding India's surgical strike mission inside Pakistan Occupied Kashmir is option 'C' - It was not given any name.
Explanation:
India conducted surgical strikes on terrorist launch pads in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) on September 29, 2016. The surgical strikes were in response to a terrorist attack on an Indian Army base in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir, on September 18, 2016, which resulted in the death of 19 Indian soldiers.
The surgical strikes were carried out by the Indian Army, not the Indian Air Force. The operation involved Special Forces units crossing the Line of Control (LoC) and targeting terrorist launch pads in POK. The objective of the surgical strikes was to neutralize terrorists who were planning to infiltrate into India and carry out attacks.
The surgical strikes were a well-coordinated and pre-planned operation. The Indian Army used a combination of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) assets to gather information about the terrorist launch pads. Special Forces units were then deployed to carry out the strikes.
It is important to note that the surgical strikes were not given any specific name. They were simply referred to as "surgical strikes" to highlight the precision and effectiveness of the operation. The purpose of not naming the operation was to maintain operational security and prevent any unnecessary escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan.
The surgical strikes were not sanctioned by the United Nations. They were conducted by India in exercise of its right to self-defense against cross-border terrorism. India has consistently maintained that it reserves the right to respond to any act of terrorism perpetrated against its citizens and security forces.
In conclusion, the correct statement is option 'C' - the surgical strike mission inside Pakistan Occupied Kashmir was not given any name.
