'If you want place in history and geography...' Army chief stern warning to Pakistan

Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi on Friday issued a stern warning to Pakistan, stating that if it wants to remain on the global map, it must stop sponsoring terrorism into India. He emphasised that the Indian Armed Forces will not show the same restraint as they did during Operation Sindoor, signaling a more decisive and forceful response this time.

"This time we will not maintain the restraint that we did in Operation Sindoor 1.0... this time we will do something that Pakistan will have to think whether it wants to be in Geography or not. If Pakistan wants to be in Geography, then it must stop state-sponsored terrorism," he



said. 

General Dwivedi visited the forward areas, including the Bikaner Military Station, to assess the operational readiness of the troops. During his visit, he engaged with senior military officials, veterans, civil dignitaries and soldiers. He emphasised the Army’s commitment to modernization, improving combat preparedness, advancing technological capabilities and maintaining operational excellence.

The Chief of Army Staff also honored veterans Lt Col Hem Singh Shekhawat (Retd), Lt Col Birbal Bishnoi (Retd), Risaldar Bhanwar Singh (Retd), and Hav Nakat Singh (Retd) for their significant contributions to nation-building.
