India's Ambassador to the US, Vinay Kwatra, has stated that India is at war with terrorists, not with Pakistan, in response to escalating tensions between the two countries. This statement came during a CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown, following the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians by Pak-backed terrorists.

Kwatra defended India's military operation, named Operation Sindoor, which targeted nine terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He emphasized that the strikes were a measured and calibrated response to the Pahalgam attack, aimed solely at dismantling terror infrastructure without targeting military or economic assets.

In the same interview, Kwatra accused Pakistan of standing with terrorists rather than acting against them, highlighting Pakistan's support for terrorism. He also corrected CNN's terminology regarding Jammu and Kashmir, asserting that the entire region is an integral part of India and the only issue to be resolved is the return of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Further statements from Kwatra and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri reiterated that India's actions were non-escalatory and a direct response to Pakistan's initial escalation through the Pahalgam attack. Misri noted that India's intention is not to escalate matters but to respond appropriately to terrorist threats.
