They do not have the strength or the resolve to take any substantial action," he added, referring to the country's limited options following the Indian Army's successful strike, " Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit said.

"At the rate things are going, Pakistan is on the path to disintegration. Even a superpower like Russia did not break into as many pieces as Pakistan is heading towards.

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also reaffirmed India's commitment to national security, condemning Pakistan's unprovoked ceasefire violations. In response, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the Indian strikes, escalating tensions between the two countries.

The strikes were aimed at avenging the Pahalgam attack victims and eliminating key Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders and camps involved in planning attacks on Indian soil. (ANI)
