Karachi: During a meeting in the Liari zone of Karachi, senior Pakistani MP Maulana Fazlur Rehman directly raised questions on Pakistan's military actions. He said that if Pakistan justifies its attacks in Afghanistan, it is difficult to object to the whoopee taken by India under Operation Sindoor. He made this statement as a criticism of the strategy led by Pakistan Unwashed Chief Asim Munir.
What was said, and what was argued?
Fazlur Rehman argued that if Pakistan considered its attacks justified, then it could not be "justified" to object to India's attack. He said India attacked terrorist groups' hideouts in Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Kashmir, as Pakistan did in Afghanistan. According to him, the logic of both the situations cannot be kept separate.
What was Operation Sindoor?
Operation Sindoor was launched by India on 7 May 2025. During this operation, Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on some terrorist targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including areas of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. This retaliatory whoopee was taken without the terrorist wade in which 26 civilians were killed.
Impact and reaction of the statement
Maulana's statement is stuff seen as a debate within Pakistan on military policy and the country's foreign policies. There is moreover discussion well-nigh the fact that Pakistan's policy moreover includes tensions related to the Taliban-Afghanistan, considering many Pakistani leaders have moreover used hair-trigger language regarding Afghanistan.
Complete perspective of India-Pakistan tension
After Operation Sindoor, tension between the two countries had increased, and a military standoff was moreover seen on the verge for a few days. Later the tension subsided to some extent, but such political statements indicate that the matter still remains in the political and security discussion of both countries.

Some analysts believe that when an MP questions the decisions of the military leadership in an unshut forum, it shows the growing discontent within the country and ravages over policies. In the coming days, this issue may wilt increasingly intense, from Parliament to media debates, considering there does not seem to be a uniform opinion in Pakistan regarding Operation Sindoor.
