India Dismisses Pakistan’s “False Flag” Dossier, Calls It a Cover-Up for Terror Sponsorship
New Delhi, June 3 (TheTrendingPeople): India has forcefully rejected a 20-page dossier released by Pakistan accusing New Delhi of orchestrating a “false flag” operation in Pahalgam and launching “naked aggression” through Operation Sindoor. Top Indian security and diplomatic officials have termed the document as a “predictable smokescreen” aimed at deflecting global scrutiny from Pakistan’s role as a long-time sponsor of cross-border terrorism.
Senior officials described the dossier as riddled with contradictions, fabricated narratives, and deliberate misinformation. “It’s the same old script. Every time we present irrefutable evidence of terror originating from Pakistani soil—be it 26/11, Pathankot, Pulwama, or now Pahalgam—they respond with a mix of denial, deflection, and conspiracy theories,” said a top Indian security officer familiar with the matter.
“Like Asking a Thief to Investigate His Own Crime”
In the aftermath of the gruesome Pahalgam attack, in which civilians were reportedly executed at point-blank range in front of their families, India squarely blamed The Resistance Front (TRF)—a Pakistan-based terror outfit that openly claimed responsibility for the massacre. Yet, Islamabad has failed to initiate any credible action against the group.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri summed up New Delhi’s position bluntly: “Expecting Pakistan to investigate the Pahalgam attack is like asking a thief to investigate his own crime.”
Instead of cracking down on the perpetrators, Pakistan demanded further evidence from India—despite the TRF’s public admission. “What more proof do they need? This is nothing but willful denial,” a senior Indian diplomat said.
Dossier Backfires: Confirms India’s Precision Strikes
Far from exonerating Pakistan or indicting India, the dossier has inadvertently validated key elements of Operation Sindoor. While accusing India of launching “unprovoked aggression,” the document confirms that Indian strikes hit 28 terror-linked sites—a number even higher than what Indian officials initially disclosed.
“These included locations in cities like Peshawar, Gujranwala, and Hyderabad (Sindh). That Pakistan was forced to seek a ceasefire just days later tells you everything you need to know,” said a top defence analyst.
Indian authorities maintain that Operation Sindoor was a calibrated, intelligence-led military response aimed specifically at eliminating active terror camps and logistics hubs in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) and adjoining areas—not civilian infrastructure.
Joint Probe Proposal Called “Preposterous”
The dossier also suggests Pakistan is open to a third-party or joint investigation into the Pahalgam incident, positioning it as a gesture of goodwill. Indian officials have outrightly rejected this proposal as “insincere and manipulative.”
“It’s a PR stunt, not a peace initiative. Pakistan wants joint probes only to delay and dilute action while shielding the perpetrators,” said a former Indian ambassador with experience in South Asia diplomacy.
From Peace Talks to Proxy War: The Real Record
While Islamabad has sought to portray itself as a peace-loving nation committed to “regional stability,” India points to a well-documented history of proxy warfare via non-state actors.
“Every time Pakistan is cornered diplomatically, it dusts off its ‘victim’ narrative, calls for dialogue, and proposes irrelevant joint mechanisms,” said a top official at India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). “But when the cameras are off, the terror infrastructure thrives.”
India insists it has repeatedly provided actionable intelligence, shared dossiers, and presented evidence to both Pakistan and the international community—only to be met with silence or obfuscation.
Global Patience Wearing Thin
New Delhi believes the international community is beginning to see through Islamabad’s strategy of denial and double-speak. “The world is watching. The same tactics used to dodge responsibility after 26/11 are being deployed again, but this time the global mood is less tolerant,” an Indian defence source said.
There has been no international condemnation of India’s precision strikes, a clear sign that New Delhi’s case is being acknowledged behind closed doors, even if not always in official statements.
Strategic Shift: Terror Will Not Go Unanswered
India has reiterated its stand: those who orchestrate or enable terrorism will face consequences. Operation Sindoor, according to Indian security agencies, marks a strategic shift—from reactive diplomacy to proactive deterrence.
“This was not just retaliation. This was India communicating, in no uncertain terms, that terror sanctuaries across the border will no longer be tolerated,” said a senior intelligence official.
The Verdict
Pakistan’s latest dossier has failed to dent India’s strategic messaging or undermine Operation Sindoor’s legitimacy. On the contrary, by inadvertently confirming key strike locations and offering no concrete action against TRF, Islamabad has exposed its own contradictions.
“Peace does not come from sheltering terrorists and denying the obvious. It comes from accountability and action. Until Pakistan makes that choice, India will reserve the right to defend its citizens in the manner it deems fit,” said an MEA spokesperson.
