As India dealt devastating blows with Operation Sindoor, Pakistan clung not to facts but to Aurangzeb Ahmed’s jargon-filled delusions, where “centre of gravity” became the national crutch for denial and a smokescreen for embarrassing military failure.

A document titled 'Radiological Safety Bulletin' purportedly issued by Government of Pakistan detailing radiation leak at a facility in Northern Pakistan has gone viral on social media.

Pakistan was forced to swallow its pride and plead for a ceasefire after India showed unwavering resolve and delivered a punishing blow with no signs of backing down.
