If Pakistan wants to maintain its geographical presence, it must stop supporting terrorism- Army Chief warned

Operation Sindoor: A tribute to women

General Dwivedi said Operation Sindoor has become a part of their lives and will remain with them as long as they are alive. The operation was named by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and dedicated to women.

"Whenever a woman in this country applies Sindoor, she remembers the soldiers who played a key role in Operation Sindoor," he said.

Unlike earlier operations, this time a single name was given to the entire operation, symbolizing its unity and significance.

He also motivated the troops, saying,

Prepare yourselves fully. If God wills, the opportunity for action will come soon.

Honoring Exemplary Officers

General Dwivedi honored three army officers for their outstanding contribution during Operation Sindoor 1.0:

·         Commandant Prabhakar Singh, BSF 140th Battalion

·         Major Ritesh Kumar, Rajputana Rifles

·         Havildar Mohit Gaira

Key points highlighted by the General Dwivedi:

Nine terrorist camps destroyed

"After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India launched Operation Sindoor. The entire world supported India and condemned the terrorist attack. Our forces targeted nine locations in Pakistan—seven by the Army and two by the Air Force," General Dwivedi said.

Evidence shown to the world

"India presented proof of the destroyed terrorist camps to the world. Without showing evidence, Pakistan could have hidden the facts. This time, India is fully prepared," he added.

Warning to Pakistan

"While India exercised restraint in Operation Sindoor 1.0, this time we will not hold back. We will take action that makes Pakistan think about its very existence. If it wants to retain its territory, Pakistan must stop supporting terrorism," the Army Chief warned.

"These officers displayed exceptional courage and skill during the operation and are being specially recognized today," he said.
