Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan stated that Pakistan's recent constitutional amendments and military restructuring are an acknowledgement of failures during Operation Sindoor. He noted that Pakistan abolished the Chairman Joint Chiefs post, replacing it with a Chief of Defence Forces, and created new commands, concentrating military power. Chauhan suggested these changes, including an amendment to Article 243, reveal shortcomings exposed during the operation. He also provided an update on India's joint theatre command progress, with an extended deadline of May 30, 2026.
