The Indian Embassy in Portugal issued a strong response to a protest organised by Pakistan outside its Chancery building in Lisbon, reaffirming India’s unwavering stance against what it called “desperate provocations” and reiterated its resolve to counter Pakistan-backed terrorism.

“The Embassy of India 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. India will not be intimidated by such desperate provocations. Our resolve remains unshaken,” the Embassy stated in a post on X.
