India is firing more missiles here than PoK, has direct connection with Maryam Nawaz

This time in India's crosshairs, Punjab is more than Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK). Indeed, the majority of the key bases that India has struck so far under retaliation are from Punjab province. On Friday, India destroyed 5 Pakistani military bases and 2 radar bases. The Indian government has stated that the army attacked Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan and Sialkot bases on Friday. The Rafiqui, Murid, Sialkot and Rahim Yar Khan bases are located in Punjab province. The Sukkur radar base is also located in Punjab. Previously, India took revenge at Lahore, which is the capital of Punjab province, and conducted a drone explosion near the army camp.

Why is Punjab province in the backseat?

Typically, India's attack has been in PoK and the surrounding regions. India attacked the launchpads of the terrorists in PoK itself in 2016 and 2019, but India's approach is different this time. India is targeting the areas where the terrorists are being housed directly. Terrorists' safest place is in Pakistan's Punjab province. It is here that Hafiz Saeed indoctrinates the terrorists. The Indian Foreign Ministry states that the army is this time leveling the same bases, from where the terrorists are receiving food and water. India claims that in this war against terrorism, the target is being done very wisely.

Why Punjab is most important

Punjab is the largest province in Pakistan. It is said to be the stronghold of the Nawaz Sharif family. Maryam is ruling this region now. The present Prime Minister has been the Chief Minister of Punjab. The Pakistan Air Force has 12 bases throughout the nation, of which 5 airbases are located in Punjab province alone. That is, half of Pakistan's airbase is in Punjab province. Pakistan's Chashma and Khushab nuclear facilities are also within the Punjab province. The largest military base of the army has also been constructed here.
