India cannot act. They are paralysed militarily, relying on fake news to pump up the image of their PM and army internally.
There is a major rift between army and government. Army admitted its losses but blamed the government. Government blamed the army.
You can see here comment from BJP minister after the devestation that was inflicted on Udamphur.
“Everyone knows what happened at the Air Force station during Operation Sindoor. T
hey must be incompetent, they were sleeping, we are not at fault. We have given the Indian Army a lot of respect.”
The opposition went crazy.
“It's shameful that leaders from BJP, whether ministers, MPs, or MLAs, are making repeated statements against the Indian Army. The Army stands as a pillar of national security. If we sleep peacefully today, it's because of their sacrifice. They’re also fighting for rightful demands like pensions, which I’ve raised in Parliament
. There’s a serious shortage of personnel, and the government must act. Instead of supporting the Army, BJP leaders are criticising it; this is deeply unfortunate,” Saroj said.
Modi was then forced to go on back foot and the BJP went into overdrive and pumped fake news. Even the MLA who made the statement about the Army being asleep had to retract it and pretend it was fake. This is what he said:
Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Ranbir Singh Pathania, released a video late Wednesday night trying to douse the flames he created after he called the Indian Air Force personnel stationed at the Udhampur airbase incompetent and accused them of sleeping during Operation Sindoor.
“Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Indian Air Force Ki Jai. Our forces have always brought pride to the country. Our army has won against Pakistan in a few days,” the BJP MLA said, saying that the viral clip had been edited.

Indians are still unable to detail why they agreed to a ceasefire and use all sorts of gymnastics to deflect. They have been relegated to nobodys.
It is more likely the next operation will be conducted by Pakistan, as Asim Munir hinted, from the east.
