Pakistani citizens staged a protest in front of the Indian Chancery building, which they called “desperate provocations.”

The Portuguese police and administration were thanked by the Indian mission on Sunday for their assistance in ensuring the safety and security of the mission. According to ANI, the embassy posted images of banners that said, “Operation Sindoor is not over” that were erected on the Indian Chancery building.

“Embassy of India @IndiainPortugal responded firmly with ‘Operation Sindoor’ to the cowardly protest organized by Pakistan near our Chancery building,” reads the message posted on X by the Indian Embassy in Portugal. We express our gratitude to the Portuguese government and police for their assistance in maintaining the Embassy’s safety and security. India is not going to be frightened by such desperate actions. Our determination is unwavering.

The demonstrations outside the embassy are being met with a “silent yet strong resolution message: Operation sindoor is not yet over,” according to Puneet Roy Kundal, India’s ambassador to Portugal.

He said on X, “Operation Sindoor is not yet over.” In response to protests Pakistan organized outside the Embassy, we sent a discreet but firm and determined message.

“Operation Sindoor” is not yet over, according to Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, who said on May 16 that what has happened so far is just a “trailer.” “We have kept Pakistan on probation,” he added, speaking to the Air Force at the Bhuj Air Force base. If it behaves well, that’s fine; if not, the worst penalty will be applied. There is yet more to Operation Sindoor. It was only a trailer, whatever occurred. We will provide the whole image to the world when the time is appropriate.

Targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), the Indian Armed Forces began Operation Sindoor on May 7. More than 100 terrorists connected to organizations including Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) were killed in the operation.

The operation was a reaction to the terrorist assault that killed 26 people and wounded many more in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, on April 22.

In response, Pakistan tried drone attacks in border areas and conducted cross-border firing in Jammu & Kashmir and over the Line of Control (LoC). In a concerted counterattack, India targeted and destroyed many Pakistani air bases’ radar systems, communication hubs, and airfields.

By May 10, the two nations had agreed to halt hostilities, temporarily stopping the conflict’s growth.
