India commemorated the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, a military response to the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals, including a Nepali national. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal reiterated India's right to defend itself against terrorism sponsored by Pakistan. He stated that the world recognizes Pakistan's use of cross-border terrorism as a state policy. India has suspended all engagements with Pakistan, including the Indus Waters Treaty, in response to these threats. Jaiswal emphasized that the treaty remains in abeyance until Pakistan renounces its support for terrorism. S. Jaishankar, India's External Affairs Minister, highlighted the decisive actions taken during Operation Sindoor, asserting India's commitment to a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism. The military strikes escalated tensions, leading to retaliatory actions from Pakistan, but ultimately concluded with an understanding between military officials from both nations.
