Pakistan Begged for Ceasefire During 'Operation Sindoor', India Made Them Wait: Ex-CDS Anil Chauhan

Speaking at an event, retired Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan made significant revelations regarding 'Operation Sindoor', launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on May 7, 2025.

Key Highlights:
- Ceasefire Delay: Pakistan reached out via the DGMO hotline for an immediate ceasefire on the morning of May 10, 2025, but India intentionally kept them waiting until afternoon to fulfill remaining strategic military objectives.
- Heavy Damage to Pakistan: Following waves of Indian strikes on 11 Pakistani military installations and airbases (including Nur Khan, Rahim Yar Khan, and Bholari) between May 9 and May 10, mounting air superiority pressure forced Pakistan to sue for peace.
- Decisive Strategy: General Chauhan highlighted that superior battlefield transparency and rapid tactical assessment allowed India to dictate terms and achieve a decisive outcome before agreeing to a ceasefire.
