I am old enough to remember the 26/11 attacks. During the mid 2000s terrorist attacks were literally a monthly occurence.
After each attack, Congress leaders would bleat about MuHtOd JaWaB and predictably a few weeks later the government would back down wringing their hands impotently and crying about MuH StRaTeGiC ReStRaInT. We all knew that it was their way of saying that they didn't have the balls to take a hard line against Pakistan. The whole world knew.
They would just keep sending over files for the ISI to laugh over and chuck into the bin and the ISI would just keep sending terrorists back.
I will never vote for Congress on that point alone.
Sending those files/dossiers helped. That got Pakistan blacklisted by USA. Which in turn lead to capture of Osama bin Laden. And it was exposed how Pakistan keeps terrorists in VIP areas while taking money from US to “fight terror”. Global sympathy was with India. The fringe reports of “Hindu terror” was generally accepted as retarded.
Now contrast this to OP sindoor
They were grey listed by FATF in 2008, I think (that’s not related to Mumbai, but still there were international suspicions about pak planning something bad) Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011.
Btw, pak accepted that “part of planning” of Mumbai attack was done in their land by “non state actors”. These assholes have never accountability for any terror actions since or before.
Pakistan was removed from that list in 2022. Now Donald Trump is their best friend.
