During a recent legal proceeding, the Indian government, explaining why it canned three IAF officers in connection with the March 2022 Brahmos missile launch into Pakistan, made this observation about that incident:
“Admittedly, this is the matter where we stood embarrassed before the international community. The missile didn’t land in India, it landed in Pakistan. It could have led to a situation of war and that country made a representation to the United Nations,” additional solicitor general (ASG) Chetan Sharma told a bench of justices Suresh Kait and Neena Bansal Krishna.
