‘Pakistan Very, Very Sneaky Actor…’: Charlie Kirk’s Operation Sindoor Remarks Resurface After His Killing
The tragic killing of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk has sent shockwaves through America’s right-wing circles, not only for its brutality but also for the political firestorm it reignited. In the aftermath of his death, remarks made by Kirk about India’s Operation Sindoor and Pakistan’s role in global terrorism have resurfaced, painting a vivid picture of his hardline worldview.
🎙️ The Voice of the Hard-Right
Charlie Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, was a defining figure in the Trump-era conservative movement. With over 4 million YouTube subscribers and a massive following on social media, Kirk’s influence extended far beyond college campuses. His podcast, The Charlie Kirk Show, became a platform for unapologetic commentary on immigration, foreign policy, and cultural issues.
🔥 Operation Sindoor: A Flashpoint
In a video uploaded on May 8, Kirk addressed the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 22 lives. India responded with Operation Sindoor—a swift and targeted military campaign that destroyed nine terror hubs across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Kirk’s commentary was blunt and provocative:
“India and Pakistan are on the verge of a war… Pakistan is 100% Muslim. Remember, they sheltered Bin Laden and have been a very, very sneaky actor. India is mostly Hindu. They don’t care for each other much at all.”
He dismissed Pakistan’s nuclear posturing as a bluff and praised India’s retaliation as a justified response to Islamic terror. However, he cautioned against American involvement:
“This is not our war. Maybe we slightly favour India because they’re retaliating to Islamic terror, but that should go no further than moral support. This is not our conflict to get involved in.”
🇺🇸 America First, Always
Kirk’s remarks were consistent with his broader “America First” ideology. He frequently criticized U.S. foreign entanglements and was vocal about limiting immigration—especially from India. Just days before his death, he posted:
“America does not need more visas for people from India. Perhaps no form of legal immigration has so displaced American workers as those from India. Enough already. We’re full. Let’s finally put our own people first.”
🕊️ A Polarizing Legacy
Kirk’s assassination during a university event in Utah has rattled the conservative movement. While investigations continue, his legacy remains polarizing. To his supporters, he was a fearless truth-teller. To critics, a provocateur who thrived on division.
But one thing is clear: Charlie Kirk’s voice—whether admired or reviled—was one that shaped the contours of modern American conservatism. And in death, his words continue to echo across geopolitical fault lines.
