The Spin

Pro-government narrative

The successful elimination of these terrorists demonstrates India's unwavering commitment to justice and national security. Operation Mahadev's meticulous three-month tracking operation shows that no terrorist can escape Indian forces. The forensic evidence conclusively proves these were the Pahalgam perpetrators, bringing closure to victims' families.

Opposition narrative

This operation raises serious questions about intelligence failures and the government's delayed response to them. Taking over 100 days to neutralize the attackers highlights significant security lapses in one of the world's most militarized regions. The timing coinciding with parliamentary debates appears politically motivated.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 20% chance that there will be at least 1,000 deaths due to direct conflict between India and Pakistan before 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
