Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi on Saturday issued a strong warning to Pakistan, saying that if it continued to shelter terrorists and target India, it would have to decide whether it wanted to remain "part of geography and history". The Army chief's remarks - perhaps the military's sharpest warning since last year's Operation Sindoor - came when he was asked how India would respond if Pakistan provokes it
again.
Addressing the 'Sena Samwad' event at the Manekshaw Centre, General Dwivedi's remarks come a week after India marked the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, which was launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. During the operation, the Indian military destroyed terror camps deep inside Pakistan. A ceasefire was later reached on Islamabad's request on May 10, but only after India struck 11 key Pakistani military sites.
