From ‘Dams Khol Diye’ To ‘Choreography’: PAF Officer Makes Stupid Claims About Operation Sindoor
A Pakistan Air Force officer appears to have added another chapter to Islamabad's increasingly creative retelling of Operation Sindoor.
Wg Cdr Bilal Raza claimed that during the operation, Pakistan Air Force “ne India ke dams khol diye” — essentially claiming that Pakistan had opened India's dams.
But the statement gets even more entertaining.
The officer went on to say that Pakistan's Youm-e-Marka-e-Haq was “choreographed” by Pakistan Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmad Babar Sidhu.
And that word choice deserves its own briefing.
🚨 ‘Choreographed’ By The Air Chief?
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, choreography concerns the arrangement of movements, particularly for a dance or performance.
So unless Pakistan's Air Chief was secretly directing a military-themed dance production, “choreographed” is probably not the word Wing Commander Raza was looking for.
Perhaps planned, directed, coordinated, conceived or orchestrated would have worked better.
Instead, Pakistan's Air Force Chief has apparently been promoted from commanding an air force to choreographing national victory celebrations.
💥 ‘India Ke Dams Khol Diye’
Then comes the claim about India's dams.
If the assertion is that Pakistan actually opened or otherwise manipulated Indian dams during Operation Sindoor, that is an extraordinarily serious claim.
It requires considerably more than a statement from an officer.
Which dams? When? By what mechanism? What was the resulting impact?
Those are basic questions any serious military account would have to answer.
Without supporting evidence, the statement remains exactly that: a claim.
🧠 The Bigger Problem
This is becoming an increasingly familiar feature of post-conflict information warfare.
Military institutions don't merely fight over what happened on the battlefield. They fight over how the battlefield is remembered.
Claims about destroyed aircraft, devastated bases, disrupted infrastructure and spectacular strategic victories can become part of a domestic information campaign long after the guns have fallen silent.
But there is a simple rule: The bigger the claim, the bigger the evidence required.
And saying “ne India ke dams khol diye” doesn't magically turn an extraordinary assertion into an established fact.
Apparently, Pakistan's version also came with a dance director. 💀
