Khan sir, a renowned Indian educator, YouTuber, and entrepreneur, on Sunday, reacted to the India-Pakistan ceasefire in early May following Operation Sindoor, describing the decision to halt military action against Islamabad as “wrong”.

After four days of intense military engagement following the launch of Operation Sindoor, India and Pakistan agreed to de-escalate on May 10, bringing the heavy exchanges to a halt.

“Ceasefire was wrong; it shouldn’t have stopped. War, at times, becomes the final path to achieving peace. If war were inherently wrong, then even Lord Krishna would have avoided the Mahabharata. Even Lord Hanuman, known for his compassion, carries a weapon — the Gada — as a symbol of defence,” Khan sir told news agency ANI.

When asked about Mahatma Gandhi, widely regarded as a symbol of peace and non-violence, in the context of the ceasefire, Khan Sir argued that Gandhi acted in a different era—when India was under British rule and the power dynamics were entirely different.

“Mahatma Gandhi was the flag bearer of non-violence, but that was during a time when the nation was not yet independent. He found a way to resist the British and build organisational strength. If we had Gandhi on one hand, we also had Chandra Shekhar Azad and Bhagat Singh on the other. Bhagat Singh was like an injection, while Gandhi was like a tablet — both were essential for India’s freedom,” he said.

India launched precision strikes under Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people.

In retaliation, Pakistan attempted strikes on Indian military bases from May 8 to 10. The military action came to a halt after both sides reached a ceasefire agreement.
