Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi
India has issued a sharp warning to Pakistan, asking it to end support for terrorism or risk losing its geographical relevance, the NDTV reported.
Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated that Islamabad must stop backing terror networks if it wants to remain on the global map.
Speaking at an Army post in Anupgarh, Rajasthan, General Dwivedi made it clear that the Indian armed forces would not exercise the restraint shown during the previous ‘Operation Sindoor’.
"This time we will not maintain the restraint that we had in Operation Sindoor 1.0. This time we will do something that will make Pakistan think whether it wants to retain its place in Geography or not. If Pakistan wants to retain its place in Geography, then it must stop state-sponsored terrorism," he said.
The Army chief’s remarks were a pointed reminder of India’s readiness to act against terror infrastructure in the neighbouring country.
The statement also suggested that a renewed military operation, akin to Operation Sindoor, could be launched if Pakistan continues its support for terrorist activities.
"If God wills, you'll get an opportunity soon. All the best," the Chief of Army Staff said.
His warning comes amid ongoing concerns over cross-border terrorism and India’s growing focus on national security.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday (2 October) warned Pakistan against its recent military build-up near the Sir Creek region, asserting that any misadventure would invite a response strong enough to “change both history and geography.”
