Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has confirmed that Pakistan was notified before India launched "Operation Sindoor." Responding to criticism from opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, who accused the government of compromising national security by informing Pakistan in advance, Jaishankar explained that a message was sent at the start of the operation. "We informed Pakistan that we are targeting terrorist infrastructure and would not engage Pakistani troops," he said. Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh slammed the move, calling it “an act of treason.”
