India has issued a stern warning to Pakistan over state-sponsored terrorism. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated that Islamabad must stop supporting terror networks or risk losing its place on the map.
Speaking at an Army post in Rajasthan’s Anupgarh, General Dwivedi cautioned that the Indian forces would not exercise the restraint shown during Operation Sindoor in May.
“This time we will not maintain the restraint that we had in Operation Sindoor 1.0. This time we will do something that will make Pakistan think whether it wants to retain its place in geography or not. If Pakistan wants to retain its place in geography, then it must stop state-sponsored terrorism,” he said.
The Army Chief urged soldiers to remain prepared, adding, “If God wills, you’ll get an opportunity soon. All the best.”
Background: Operation Sindoor
Operation Sindoor, launched in May 2025, was India’s retaliatory strike following the Pahalgam terror attack. Indian forces targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir using long-range precision weapons on May 7, reportedly destroying multiple camps and infrastructure without harming civilians or military targets.
During the operation, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh had claimed that Indian forces downed four to five Pakistani fighter jets, including US-made F-16s and Chinese JF-17s, along with a probable airborne early warning aircraft. A ceasefire was agreed upon on May 10 after Pakistani commanders requested India to halt the offensive.
General Dwivedi emphasised that India had provided global evidence of the destroyed terror infrastructure, preventing Pakistan from hiding the truth.
Honouring Bravery
At the event in Anupgarh, three officers were honoured for exceptional performance during Operation Sindoor: BSF 140th Battalion Commandant Prabhakar Singh, Rajputana Rifles Major Ritesh Kumar, and Havildar Mohit Gaira.
The Army Chief’s remarks underline India’s zero-tolerance stance on cross-border terrorism and signal heightened vigilance along its western front.
