Operation Sindoor Anniversary: Asim Munir Makes False Claims As Pakistan's Lies Get Exposed

Islamabad: Even after witnessing the country split into two during the 1971 war, the Islamic nation of Pakistan continues to make claims of victory to this day. For this very reason, one cannot expect the truth from Pakistan. Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir, while spewing venom against India, has made a false claim regarding the ceasefire. This stands in stark contrast to revelations emerging from U.S. lobbying disclosures—filed under America's Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)—which clearly demonstrated that between May 6 and May 9, 2025, Pakistan engaged in extensive interactions in Washington with individuals involved in politics, defense, and national security. This period coincided precisely with the time when India's 'Operation Sindoor' was underway. During this timeframe, Pakistan placed over 60 telephone calls from Washington.

According to documents reviewed by the news agency ANI, Pakistan engaged in interactions—recorded in official records—on approximately 60 occasions with U.S. lawmakers, congressional officials, Treasury officials, National Security Advisors, defense personnel, and journalists. These details surfaced on Sunday, shortly after Pakistan's Army Chief, Asim Munir, claimed that New Delhi had approached the United States for mediation and a ceasefire following the conflict that ensued after 'Operation Sindoor' last year.

Why Did Asim Munir Lie Shamelessly?

Addressing a ceremony held at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, Asim Munir asserted that, during the conflict, Pakistan's strategy was "superior" to that of India. Munir stated, "India expressed a desire for mediation through the U.S. leadership, which Pakistan accepted in the interest of broader regional peace." Asim Munir made these remarks nearly a year after India had launched 'Operation Sindoor.'

Meanwhile, prior to making this new claim regarding the ceasefire and U.S. mediation, Munir had issued several statements targeting India. Pakistan had previously maintained that it was Donald Trump who had facilitated the mediation. Documents filed under FARA indicate that, following the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan had sensed that India was poised to launch an offensive. Consequently, it began making calls to Washington. To this end, it hired several lobbying firms and utilized them to establish contact with the Trump administration.

How Did India Launch Attacks Inside Pakistan?

After the operation commenced, India stated that it was a tri-service (Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force) mission aimed at neutralizing terrorist bases across Pakistan and PoK. In a statement issued on the intervening night of May 6 and May 7, 2025, the Ministry of Defence announced that the armed forces had carried out precision strikes against nine locations linked to terrorism. Subsequently, Pakistan attempted to target Indian military bases; in response, on May 10, India destroyed 11 Pakistani airbases in a series of missile strikes. Pakistan proved completely unable to intercept the incoming Indian missiles.

These revelations align with earlier reporting by CNN, which stated that negotiations regarding a ceasefire between India and Pakistan had been ongoing for several days. However, a formal agreement on the ceasefire was ultimately reached only after a hotline conversation took place between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations. Panicked by India's attacks, Pakistan's DGMO telephoned his Indian counterpart, following which the ceasefire agreement was finalized. Throughout this period, India did not initiate any diplomatic contact with Washington.
