New Delhi:
Indian military chiefs delivered a fiery warning to Pakistan Friday – including a veiled threat to wipe the country off the map – over its continued support of cross-border terrorism. ‘Stop supporting terrorism or lose your geographical presence…’, Islamabad was told, the memory of Operation Sindoor reinforced.
Speaking at an outpost in Rajasthan’s Anupgarh, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said the Indian military would not show restraint if called to battle again, while Air Force chief AP Singh, at a presser in Delhi, reminded Pak about heavy losses suffered during Operation Sindoor.
“This time we will not maintain restraint we had in Op Sindoor 1.0. This time we will do something that will make Pakistan think… If Pakistan wants to retain its place in geography, then it must stop state-sponsored terrorism,” the Army Chief thundered.
He also said the focus of the strikes were terrorist camps and bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Targeting these presented evidence to the world Islamabad does, in fact, harbour terrorism on its soil. Had India not acted, Pak would have hidden the truth, he said.
