New Delhi, August 28: Did Indian Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi accuse the Narendra Modi-led government of halting military action during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan and causing damage to the Indian Air Force? The question comes as several Pakistan-supported accounts on social media shared the video claiming that Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi accused the government of stopping action during Operation Sindoor. The social media accounts also claimed that India's Navy Chief admitted that action by the government caused damage to the Indian Air Force.

As the viral video, the Indian government hated military action during Operation Sindoor and this action led to setbacks for the Indian Air Force. In the viral clip, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi is seen saying that the Central government did not allow the Navy to participate in Operation Sindoor, a decision which led to the Indian Air Force suffering damage. PIB flagged the video as fake and revealed truth behind the alleged claim. Did the Railways Ministry Discontinue Counter Train Tickets? PIB Fact Check Reveals Truth Behind Viral Claim.

The original video shows the Naby Chief saying that the Indian Navy could lead the charge against Pakistan and continue Operation Sindoor if terror-related incidents happen again. "Sir, a few days ago, from the deck of INS Vikrant, you had assured the Indian Navy that Operation Sindoor has not ended, and if the need arises again, there is a probability that the opening will be done by the Indian Navy," Tripathi said. Was a Train Submerged in Floodwaters?
