Pakistan’s military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), has rejected an Indian documentary about Operation Sindoor, accusing it of presenting a highly dramatised and factually inaccurate account of the 2025 military confrontation between India and Pakistan.
In a statement, ISPR said India was attempting to portray the conflict through a different narrative for domestic audiences, alleging that the documentary distorted events and selectively presented information.
ISPR questions documentary’s account
According to ISPR, the documentary relied on selectively edited interviews, emotional narration and cinematic reconstructions to present its version of events.
The military media wing also pointed to what it described as contradictions in the documentary, particularly regarding the timing of attacks and the identities of alleged perpetrators.
ISPR said these inconsistencies demonstrated an attempt to construct a narrative that supported India’s portrayal of the conflict.
Pakistan reiterates claims about military response
The statement reiterated Pakistan’s position that its armed forces successfully responded to what it described as Indian aggression during Marka-e-Haq.
ISPR claimed that Pakistan shot down eight Indian military aircraft during the confrontation.
It further said Pakistan subsequently conducted Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, targeting 26 military installations with precision-guided weapons and other advanced munitions.
These claims form part of Pakistan’s official account of the conflict, while India has presented its own version of the events and military outcomes.
ISPR disputes claims of decisive Indian victory
ISPR also argued that references within the documentary to missile, drone and air activity contradicted its portrayal of an unequivocal Indian victory.
The military media wing further highlighted the eventual cessation of hostilities following dialogue between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two countries.
According to ISPR, the sequence of events demonstrated that the conflict ended through diplomatic and military communication rather than the decisive outcome portrayed in the documentary.
Pakistan says it remains committed to peace
Concluding its statement, ISPR said Pakistan remains committed to peace and regional stability.
At the same time, it maintained that Pakistan’s armed forces remain prepared to defend the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The latest exchange highlights the continuing dispute between India and Pakistan over how the 2025 confrontation should be portrayed, with both sides maintaining significantly different accounts of the conflict.
