Questions raised on Pakistan PM's 'Operation Dwarka' claims, historical reality exposed
According to Navbharat Times, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif mentioned the 1965 'Operation Dwarka' during Navy Day. However, historical facts indicate that the Indian Navy had no presence in Dwarka at that time. This claim has exposed Pakistan's narrative, especially since the Indian Navy had targeted the Karachi port during that conflict.
VIMARSHNAARAD TVPakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently referred to 'Operation Dwarka' during the 1965 India-Pakistan war while marking Navy Day. He attempted to present this campaign as a major achievement for his navy. However, this claim has sparked a debate regarding historical facts, raising questions about the credibility of Pakistan's narrative.
According to media reports, the Pakistani Navy bombarded Dwarka city during the 1965 war. At that time, there was no Indian Navy base or warship present in Dwarka. The attack was carried out on a location that was entirely civilian. Following this incident, the Indian Navy retaliated by targeting the Karachi port, causing significant damage to Pakistan.
Experts believe that the Pakistani government is attempting to distort history. Promoting 'Operation Dwarka' as a major military victory is far from reality. At that time, the Pakistani Navy had to retreat in the face of the Indian Navy's strategic superiority.
This entire episode has exposed the official statements coming from Pakistan. The claims made by the Prime Minister are now being discussed internationally, highlighting how a civilian attack is being portrayed as military glory. In the history of the Indian Navy, the action taken against the Karachi port is considered a significant turning point.
This is not the first time Pakistan has made misleading claims regarding its military history. On several previous occasions, Pakistan's claims have been proven false based on historical evidence. Currently, Shehbaz Sharif's statement is being viewed as an attempt to divert public attention and engage in domestic politics.
Ultimately, the readiness of the Indian Navy during the 1965 war and the action taken at the Karachi port remain historical truths. The claims made by the Pakistani Prime Minister have emerged as mere hollow propaganda that does not stand up to the test of facts.
