The Indian Embassy in Portugal issued a response following a protest organised by Pakistani nationals outside the Chancery building near the Embassy office in Lisbon. Calling the demonstrations a “desperate provocation”, the Embassy said that India responded firmly through “Operation Sindoor.”
“Embassy of India in Portugal responded firmly with ‘Operation Sindoor’ to the cowardly protest organised by Pakistan near our Chancery building. We thank the Government of Portugal and its police authorities for their support in ensuring the safety and security of the Embassy,” it wrote in a post on X.
The post also included photos of Indian officials standing on the balcony of the embassy office with the banners on the wall, which read: “Operation Sindoor is not yet over”.
Calling the protest “cowardly,” the Embassy said, “India will not be intimidated by such desperate provocations. Our resolve remains unshaken.”
India’s Ambassador to Portugal, Puneet Roy Kundal, also took to X and said that the protests organised by Pakistan were met with a silent yet strong and resolute message that “Operation Sindoor is not yet over”.
