thebalanced.newsIndian Army Chief Issues Warning to Pakistan on Terrorism After Operation Sindoor Anniversary
Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi issued a stern warning to Pakistan, stating that if it continues to harbour terrorists and conduct operations against India, it must decide whether to remain part of geography or history. His remarks came during a civil-military interaction at the Manekshaw Centre, shortly after the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, a 2023 military campaign launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The operation involved precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, leading to an 88-hour conflict that ended with a mutual understanding.
