What does this status mean?

Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.

Original manifesto wording

“The Surgical Strikes of 2016 and the Air Strikes of 2019 are examples of our dedicated efforts towards countering terrorism. We are committed to defend Bharat’s citizens and interests at home and abroad from all threats of terrorism.”

Our Assessment

This is an open-ended, continuing commitment to defend citizens and interests from terrorism rather than a single completable deliverable. The government maintains a counter-terrorism posture through security operations, strengthened legal tools (including terrorism provisions added under the new criminal laws) and inter-agency coordination. As an ongoing security objective without a defined end-state, it is assessed as in continuous effect. Partial (ongoing).
