World leaders are competing to take credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan after Operation Sindoor. After US President Trump, China has now entered this fight for credit. Although India has right from the beginning denied any such mediation by any third party, Pakistan starts singing praises of any country which forcefully sticks its nose in the ceasefire.

Pakistan came out in support of China on ceasefire

Recently, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi took credit for bringing peace in many tense areas including India-Pakistan and Cambodia-Thailand. India rejected it outright, but Pakistan again stood in support of China. Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said that he supports China’s stand.

Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, ‘China’s leadership was in constant touch with Pakistan. Between May 6 and May 10, and perhaps even before that, China had frequent contacts with the Indian leadership. China’s diplomatic talks helped in reducing tension and bringing peace. I am sure that China’s view about mediation is right.

China’s statement on India-Pakistan ceasefire

Speaking at a symposium on China’s foreign relations, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said: “This year, local hostilities and cross-border conflicts have erupted more frequently than at any other time since the end of World War II. There was geopolitical turmoil. To maintain lasting peace, we have adopted a purposeful approach and focused on addressing both the symptoms and the root causes.

He further said, ‘Adopting this Chinese way of resolving hotspot issues, we mediated in Northern Myanmar, Iranian nuclear issue, tensions between Pakistan and India, issues between Palestine and Israel and the recent spat between Cambodia and Thailand.’

India’s response to China’s claim

Rejecting China’s claim, India bluntly said that no third party was involved in the ceasefire decision. India said that the ceasefire with Pakistan was agreed upon after talks between the DGMOs of the two countries.

The four-day military confrontation between India and Pakistan in May 2025 still remains a topic of discussion. In this conflict, Operation Sindoor launched by India has caused huge damage to many important military bases of Pakistan. The most discussed among these was Noor Khan Airbase located in Rawalpindi, the special thing is that Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar publicly admitted for the first time that Noor Khan Airbase was damaged in Indian drone attacks. After this confession, the question arose in the minds of people that who was Noor Khan, in whose name such an important airbase of Pakistan is built. So let us know who was Noor Khan, in whose name the Pakistani airbase was destroyed by India in Operation Sindoor.

Who was Noor Khan?

Noor Khan was not just an army officer, but he was one of the few. Who have played an important role in the air forces of both India and Pakistan. His life started with the Indian Air Force and has reached the post of Chief of the Pakistan Air Force. Interestingly, in the last years of his life, he openly criticized many military policies of Pakistan. Noor Khan was born in 1923. When India and Pakistan were a single country, he studied at the Royal Indian Military College and was commissioned as a pilot officer in the undivided Indian Air Force (IAF) on 6 January 1941.

At that time, there were very few Indian officers in the Indian Air Force, but Noor Khan was considered a very talented and courageous pilot from the beginning. He took flying training on aircraft such as Westland Wapiti, Hawker Hart and Hawker Audax. During World War II he flew many risky missions on the India-Burma front. His fellow officers say that Noor Khan had a passion for flying and he never shied away from flying the most difficult aircraft.

Selection of Pakistan Air Force after partition

At the time of partition of the country in 1947, Noor Khan had a choice. India or Pakistan, his native region had gone to Pakistan and many of his fellow officers were also going to Pakistan Air Force, so he chose Pakistan Air Force (PAF). His career in Pakistan progressed rapidly and in 1965 he became Air Chief Marshal of Pakistan Air Force. Noor Khan was the chief of Pakistan Air Force during the 1965 war. Later he himself admitted that this war was started by Pakistan and the country was not fully prepared for it. However, he also admitted that in post-war Pakistan, propaganda was promoted instead of truth and an impartial review was never conducted. According to him, if the right lessons had been learned from that war, a major defeat like 1971 could have been avoided.

Noor Khan became a critic of Pakistan’s policies

In the last years of his life, Noor Khan became a major critic of Pakistan’s military thinking. He openly said that the 1965 war was Pakistan’s fault, India had only acted in self-defence. India-Pakistan war was not a war of any religion. He also said that the root of Pakistan’s problems lies in its military thinking and repeatedly adopting the path of war.

Noor Khan Airbase and Operation Vermillion

The airbase named after Noor Khan is a major military base of Pakistan. The Indian Air Force targeted this airbase during Operation Sindoor in May 2025. Now Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has also accepted that this airbase was damaged in Indian drone attacks and the soldiers deployed there were injured. It is, in a way, a paradox of history that decades later, the airbase named after a person who once served the country in the Indian Air Force was targeted by India in a military action.

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has revealed that he was advised to hide in a bunker during India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ in May this year. His statement exposed Asim Munir and Shahbaz Sharif, who were hiding their failure from different platforms. Zardari said in the tone of Army Chief Asim Munir that we are Muslims and we know how to protect ourselves. On April 16, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir had given a provocative statement regarding Hindu-Muslim.

Pakistan on the path of radical Islamic country

Now this statement of President Zardari clearly indicates that Pakistan sees itself as a fundamentalist Islamic nation. Asim Munir had made a similar distinction between Hindus and Muslims to support the two-nation theory and said that the two communities are fundamentally different from each other.

Munir made provocative statement before Pahalgam attack

Addressing a gathering of Pakistani citizens living abroad, Munir stressed that India and Pakistan are two different countries and Pakistanis are different from Hindus in their culture, ideology and other aspects. He said, ‘Our ancestors believed that we were different from Hindus in every aspect of life. Our religions are different, customs, traditions, ideas, our ambitions are different. This was the foundation of the two-nation theory. We are two nations, not one nation. After this statement of Munir, the first terrorist attack took place on 22 April.

Army created havoc in Pakistan in Operation Sindoor

India launched Operation Sindoor on 7 May 2025 in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Under this, the hideouts of terrorists in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) were targeted. After this, the Indian Air Force (IAF) also bombed the Pakistani army which had come to help the terrorists. IAF gave a stern warning to Munir and Shahbaz Sharif by destroying many airbases of Pakistani Air Force. However, Pakistan is still busy praising itself and Donald Trump.

We made Munir Field Marshal: Zardari

Zardari also claimed that now the international community is accepting Pakistan’s stand and even US President Donald Trump had praised Munir. He also claimed that PPP (Pakistan People’s Party) made Munir a Field Marshal. Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has admitted that India had attacked Noor Khan Air Force Base on the morning of 10 May. He said that within 36 hours India fired 80 drones on Pakistan.

After seven months, Pakistan has accepted the big truth regarding India’s Operation Sindoor. Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has admitted that India had attacked Noor Khan Air Force Base on the morning of May 10. This is the first time after the four-day long India-Pakistan military confrontation that Pakistan has openly acknowledged the attack. It is believed that this attack was carried out very accurately with BrahMos missile, which caused huge damage to the airbase.

Pakistan admitted- attack on Noor Khan airbase
Ishaq Dar said that on the morning of 10 May, India attacked Noor Khan airbase. He told that after this Pakistan retaliated. Till now Pakistan was not talking clearly about this attack, but after seven months it has been accepted publicly for the first time.

BrahMos’ accurate target, huge damage to the airbase
Dar did not directly name BrahMos, but it is clear from his statement that the Indian attack was very accurate. Experts say that Noor Khan Airbase suffered a lot of damage in this attack, which Pakistan was trying to hide for a long time.

Pakistan did not ask for mediation
Dar also said that during the conflict in May, Pakistan did not seek help from any country for talks with India. However, he claimed that America and Saudi Arabia themselves wanted to talk to India.

America and Saudi Arabia played role
According to Ishaq Dar, at 8:17 am on May 10, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called him and told him that India is ready to stop the war. Dar said that Pakistan also did not want war. After this, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia contacted him and asked for permission to talk to India. Later, an agreement was reached between the two countries to stop the war.

Claims of shooting down drones and jets, no evidence
Dar claimed that Pakistan intercepted 79 out of 80 Indian drones and seven Indian fighter aircraft were shot down in the aerial conflict on May 7. However, he did not present any evidence in support of these claims.

President Zardari’s statement: ‘Refused to go to the bunker’
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari told that during Operation Sindoor he was advised to hide in the bunker. He said that he refused to accept this advice. In Zardari’s words, ‘If we have to die, we will die here.’ Leaders do not hide in bunkers.

Praising the army and talking about peace
Zardari said that Pakistan wants peace, but is fully prepared for its security. He praised Army Chief General Asim Munir and called it a ‘right reply’ given to India. He also said that resolution of the Kashmir issue is necessary for lasting peace in the region.

Why did Operation Sindoor start?
India started Operation Sindoor on 7 May. This action was taken in response to the Pahalgam attack, in which 26 civilians were killed. India targeted terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. After this, there was an intense conflict between the two countries for four days, which ended with the decision to stop the war on May 10.

On April 22 this year, a Pakistan-sponsored terrorist attack took place in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 people lost their lives. After this, India launched Operation Sindoor on the night of 6-7 May. In this, a strike was carried out on terrorists by entering Pakistan. India had given ceasefire only after the request of Pakistani Army, but officially Pakistan has been denying all this. In such a situation, the confession of the President of Pakistan regarding Operation Sindoor has come to light.

Asif Ali Zardari himself has now confessed everything regarding Operation Sindoor. While addressing a program in Pakistan, he said that one of my representatives came to me and said that sir, the war has started. He further said that although I had told him 4 days ago that there was going to be a war.

‘The war has started sir, let’s go to the bunker’
Zardari told that his representative said that the war has started, sir, go to the bunker. Zardari further said in his address that we ourselves are ready for the battlefield. We are ready to fight with our own arms. We are also ready to sacrifice our lives. It is clear from Zardari’s statement that many senior officers of the Pakistani Army had also gone into the bunker to save their lives. During Operation Sindoor, Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir was also not visible for several days.

Zardari’s jackal to India
Threatening India, Asif Ali Zardari further said that forget that there will be bread, there will be bullets… We will shoot bullets, what bullets will you shoot. After the Pahalgam terrorist attack, India ended all diplomatic relations with Pakistan. Since the suspension of Indus Waters Treaty by India, Pakistan has written letters to the Indian government several times demanding its reinstatement.

US President Donald Trump has taken credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan many times. He said many times in different forums that I had stopped many wars, including the India-Pakistan war. Although India has always rejected the idea of ​​mediation. Nearly seven months after Operation Sindoor, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has finally accepted the truth. He said that Pakistan had not asked anyone for mediation.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is also known for his loudness. Every now and then he makes such statements which not only embarrass the country but also himself. The scale of his military achievements revolves around India only. On Saturday he again gave a similar statement. Patted yourself on the back regarding the India-Pakistan conflict, and also said what you have been targeted for earlier also.

We did not ask anyone for mediation: Ishaq Dar

According to Dawn newspaper, while talking to the media in Islamabad, Ishaq Dar reiterated, ‘We had not asked anyone to mediate.’ This is not the first time that Dar is giving a statement full of dilemma. Ishaq Dar had said in the month of August that Pakistan had suffered so much damage that they gave up arms and gave importance to the ceasefire.

Pakistan demands its own ceasefire: Ishaq Dar

Dar had said, ‘Islamabad never requested the US or any third party to mediate the ceasefire with India during Operation Sindoor. After suffering losses in the Indian attack, Pakistan itself had demanded ceasefire.

What statement did Ishaq Dar give in September?

Subsequently, in September, Dar publicly admitted at an event that India had never agreed to any third party mediation.

Dar revealed that when Pakistan asked US Secretary of State Marco Rubio about Donald Trump’s mediation, Rubio clearly said that India has always said that this is a bilateral issue. Claimed that at 8:17 am on May 10, US Secretary of State Rubio had told him that very soon there would be talks between India and Pakistan in an independent venue, but later on July 25, Rubio said that India had refused any role of a third party, calling it only a bilateral matter.

In his statement on Saturday, he mentioned his conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. First he said that he did not ask for mediation, then after some time he said, ‘At around 8:17 in the morning, I got a call from USA Secretary Rubio that India is ready for ceasefire, are you ready?’ I said, ‘We never wanted to go to war.’

India had caused huge loss to PAK

After the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Indian security forces had launched Operation Sindoor, in response to which Pakistan started a military conflict and the Indian forces gave a befitting reply. Pakistan suffered a lot during this period. Airbases like Noor Khan, Rahim Yar Khan, Muridke, Bholari and Sargodha were also destroyed. Apart from this, the Airborne Early Warning or Electronic Intelligence platform of Pakistani Air Force was also destroyed by Indian missiles.

Pakistan has started recovering from the wounds received from Operation Sindoor. This is the reason why Pakistan welcomed UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed at the Noor Khan airbase, which was destroyed by the Indian Air Force during Operation Sindoor (May 7-10). This is the same Noor Khan base, where the Indian Air Force had pulled off the nuclear bluff by destroying Pakistan’s Nuclear Command and Control Centre.

Now Pakistan has released the video of the grand welcome of the UAE President, in which Noor Khan Airbase can be seen written. Pakistan has done this so that it can show the world that everything is fine here. While the reality is that Pakistan Air Force had issued NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) several times to close it, but after seven months of repair, this strategic airbase of Pakistan near Rawalpindi has become operational again.

On Friday, Pakistan had given a grand welcome to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed at Noor Khan Airbase. Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir themselves reached Noor Khan Airbase to welcome him. It is also believed that America’s nuclear weapons were stored at this Noor Khan airbase. During Operation Sindoor, when India destroyed this command and control centre, America was shocked and called for a ceasefire from India.

Everyone expressed surprise at Trump’s interference

Everyone was surprised by the way US President Donald Trump tried to interfere during Operation Sindoor. Imtiaz Gul, a well-known security expert of Pakistan himself, had claimed that the Noor Khan Air Base which was attacked by India during Operation Sindoor, America’s nuclear weapons were stored there. That means America keeps its nuclear weapons in Pakistan.

India had destroyed the ‘Command and Control Centre’ and took revenge

Even the Trump administration had no idea that India would destroy Pakistan’s Nuclear Command and Control Center in revenge for the Pahalgam terrorist attack. This is the reason why America’s Vice President JD Vance, who till a few days ago was insisting on keeping himself away from the dispute between India and Pakistan, was shaken by India’s action in just four days (6/7- 9/10 May) and called Prime Minister Modi and called for stopping the military confrontation.

During Operation Sindoor, Trump had claimed that if the ongoing military conflict between India and Pakistan was not stopped, it could turn into a nuclear war. However, India had officially denied any such claim and Trump’s interference.

Modi had said- exposed Pakistan’s nuclear bluff

After Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had publicly said that Pakistan’s nuclear bluff has been exposed. The PM did not say anything clearly but the indication was clear that after the destruction of Pakistan’s Nuclear Command and Control Centre, the nuclear weapons of the Pakistani Army were completely destroyed. Because these weapons could not be launched without a command and control center.

Ever since the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan had been flaunting its nuclear weapons. Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and other leaders were talking about the use of nuclear weapons to respond to India’s attack. But on May 9-10, when India destroyed Noor Khan Air Base and Kirana Hills with precise aim of BrahMos missile, Pakistan rulers came to their knees and started bleating in front of Trump.

Noor Khan Air Base, very close to GHQ, the headquarters of the Pakistani Army, is a major operating base of Pakistan where C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft were deployed. Noor Khan was a strategic defeat for Pakistan because this base was named after former Chief of Pakistani Air Force Noor Khan.

Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir may have sold China’s JF-17 Thunder fighter jet to Libya, but the reality is that Chinese weapons are continuously being exposed. After Operation Sindoor, the latest case is of Thailand-Cambodia war, where the Chinese rocket system exploded during firing and eight Cambodian soldiers lost their lives. Cambodia’s army was using this Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) against Thailand.

The video of Thailand-Cambodia war is viral on social media. In this, Cambodian soldiers can be seen firing a multiple launch rocket system. About half a dozen Cambodian soldiers are also seen standing behind the rocket system. A soldier can also be seen making a video of the firing on his mobile. MLRS fires six rockets one after the other, but after that suddenly the rocket system explodes and catches fire.

China had made PHL-81 by copying it from Russia.

The Cambodian army uses PHL-81 type rocket systems manufactured in China. This is a version (copy) of the ‘BM021 Grad’ multiple launch rocket system of Russia (Soviet Union) in the 80s. The special thing is that the Indian Army also operates these Grad MLRS, which can fire 40 rockets in 20-22 seconds.

ANOTHER FAILURE OF CHINESE TECHNOLOGY

When the war started, Cambodia had threatened to use these rocket systems against Thailand, but the explosion of the MLRS during firing has once again raised questions on Chinese weapons and military systems.

Asim Munir lied to Libya

Recently, Pakistan has signed a JF-17 fighter jet deal with North African country Libya. JF-17 fighter jet is manufactured in China and Pakistan. Pakistani Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) Asim Munir has sold JF-17 to Libya saying that this Chinese fighter plane had shot down fighter jets like Rafale and Sukhoi of India during Operation Vermillion. Whereas the reality is that till date Pakistan has not presented any evidence of shooting down Indian fighter planes. Pakistan has not released even a single picture or video of the wreckage of these fighter jets.

Chinese HQ-9 defense system could not even detect BrahMos

During Operation Sindoor, the Chinese air defense systems HQ-9 and LY-80 used by Pakistan were not even aware of India’s air-strike and BrahMos missile attack. Chinese military systems, let alone countering Indian missiles, were even able to detect them properly.

Veeransh Bhanushali, an Indian student of Oxford University, has made a scathing attack on Pakistan in the Oxford Union Debate. Veeransh said that Pakistan cannot be embarrassed because ‘it has nothing to do with shame’. This speech of his is becoming very viral on social media, on which lakhs of views have been received.

India’s policy related to real danger

The topic of the debate held at Oxford University was ‘Is India’s Pakistan policy just a populist pretense or a real security policy’. Speaking in this, Veeransh said that India’s policy is related to the real threat and not for votes. He told that his aunt and friend’s family were in danger in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. On Pakistan, he said, ‘We have learned from the bitter truth that how will we embarrass a country which has no shame?’

Pakistan gives circus to its people

Veeransh mentioned Pulwama, Uri, Pathankot and the recent Pahalgam attack. Making fun of Pakistan, he said, ‘When India fights a war, it debriefs the pilots, in Pakistan they autotune the chorus. If we can’t give people bread, we give them circus.
Veeransh finally gave instructions to Pakistan and said, ‘If you want to be a peaceful neighbor then stop terrorism, otherwise India will remain alert.’

Veeransh is an alumnus of NES International School, Mumbai. He is currently studying law at Oxford University. Veeransh is also the Principal and Chief of Staff of Oxford Union. Apart from this, he has also done internship in the Solicitor General Office of India.

How did Veeransh’s video go viral?

Veeransh spoke from his life experiences and directly challenged Pakistan’s terrorism. People praised it as a strong stand of India. The debate took place on 27 November 2025, which was just after the anniversary of 26/11. This debate was a part of the debate on India-Pakistan relations and Veeransh’s speech was very impressive.

When India launched Operation Sindoor against the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Pakistan’s weapons fell short. Although the outcome of this conflict was ceasefire, Pakistan suffered a major defeat. Now after 7 months, a shocking report from the Pentagon has come out. It has been revealed that India fought not only with Pakistan but also with China, because China had helped Pakistan on its backhand.

China helped Pakistan in three big ways

China adopted a ‘grey-zone’ strategy, in which Pakistan kept fighting from the front and China kept pressurizing India from behind through intelligence, cyber attacks, information and diplomatic means. This is a new model, where China was trying to weaken India through Pakistan without directly getting involved in the war.

• Intelligence Support: China provided real-time monitoring of India to Pakistan through its satellite coverage and electronic surveillance, which enabled Pakistan to do better targeting and operational coordination.
• Information Warfare: China ran online campaigns in which India’s allegations were blurred, Delhi’s claims were questioned and Pakistan’s narrative was spread internationally.
• Cyber ​​Activity and Diplomatic Maneuvering: Cyber ​​attacks and diplomatic methods prevented the conflict from escalating, but maintained pressure on India.

To help Pakistan, China did not field the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) directly, but helped from behind, so that it could easily deny to the world that it was not involved in it.

Why did China adopt a new war strategy?

According to the Pentagon report, China considers India as its main strategic challenge. Uses Pakistan as a ‘pressure valve’ so that India cannot increase defense cooperation with America and remains always busy. China considered Operation Sindoor a test case of its ‘grey-zone’ strategy, where cyber, economic coercion, information warfare and proxy destabilization come first.

China had made a big move against India

The report said that the disengagement agreement between India and China on LAC in October 2024 was also temporary, so that India does not come closer to America. Experts believe that this disclosure is a new challenge for India. Now India will have to be prepared not only for the threat from Pakistan but also for the joint ‘hybrid’ threat from China and Pakistan.

What happened in Operation Sindoor?

Operation Sindoor was a 4-day conflict that lasted from 7 May 2025 to 10 May 2025. On April 22, 2025, 26 civilians were killed in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, after which India launched missile and air strikes on 9 terrorist targets in Pakistan. India said it was to target terrorist infrastructure, while Pakistan called it an attack on civilian areas. There were air and missile attacks from both sides in the conflict, but India had taken a decisive lead.
