The loud and bold tone of Indian media has suddenly gone silent after Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos. This sharp change came after Pakistan’s powerful military response earlier this week.
Just a few days ago, Indian news channels were full of fiery claims. Anchors spoke of taking control of Karachi Port and defeating Pakistan in mere hours. But after Pakistan’s military operation targeted key Indian sites, that confidence quickly disappeared.
The Pakistani strikes hit Pathankot, Jammu, and Poonch with precision. These attacks under Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos shook the Indian media narrative. Channels that once bragged of conquest are now filled with criticism. They are blaming their own leaders and questioning military decisions.
The shift is visible on television screens across India. Clips of destruction are being aired. Angry voices from the public dominate the news cycle. The proud nationalism has now turned into fear and confusion.
Reuters reported another blow to India’s image. The Indian stock market has suffered a huge loss—$83 billion wiped out. Investors, especially from abroad, are now deeply worried about India’s economic future.
In contrast, Pakistan stands united. From cities to villages, the people are showing unwavering support for the armed forces. Streets echo with chants of “Pak Army Zindabad.” This nationwide support has added strength to Pakistan’s counteroffensive.
The ongoing developments have exposed the gap between the two neighbours. On one side is India, facing internal doubt and media backlash. On the other is Pakistan, carrying out a focused and successful response mission. Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos has not only silenced Indian media but also boosted national pride in Pakistan.
This Pakistani counteroffensive is now being hailed as a strategic win. It has shifted the momentum in Pakistan’s favour, both on the battlefield and in the public eye.
