The Indian Army recently revealed that Pakistan attempted to target the Golden Temple, the sacred Sikh place in Punjab, amidst tensions arising from terror attacks originating in Pakistan. The drone and missile attacks on the Golden Temple were promptly stopped by the Indian Army. Major General Kartik C. Seshadri commended the Indian Army's professionalism in responding to provocations with calibrated precision. The Army's use of Akash missiles and L-70 air defence guns effectively intercepted the Pakistani weapons. Despite facing grave provocations, the Indian Army maintained its responsible approach by only targeting known terrorist locations to prevent collateral damage. Major General Seshadri highlighted Pakistan's reliance on terrorism and unmanned aerial weapons due to its lack of capability compared to the Indian armed forces. The Pakistan Army resorted to launching drones and long-range missiles from its territory, targeting Indian military installations and civilian areas, including religious sites like the Golden Temple. The Indian Army bravely countered this threat, assuring the public of its readiness to thwart any future aerial attacks. The incident reaffirms India's commitment to safeguarding its borders and religious sites from external threats.
