‘Operation Sindoor Just a Trailer’: Army Chief Dwivedi Issues Stern Warning to Pakistan
- J&K Terror Incidents Decline, 61% of Neutralized Terrorists are Pakistani, COAS RevealsNEW DELHI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Upendra Dwivedi today issued a strong warning to Pakistan, stating that the swift and decisive Operation Sindoor was merely “just a trailer” of India’s readiness to respond to state-sponsored terrorism.
Speaking at the Curtain Raiser of the Chanakya Defence Dialogue 2025 (CDD-2025) in New Delhi, General Dwivedi asserted that India is fully prepared for any future circumstances and will deliver a befitting reply to those who promote and sponsor terrorism.
“Operation Sindoor was just a trailer, which ended in 88 hours. India is prepared for any circumstances in future,” General Dwivedi stated. “If Pakistan ever did a misdeed, the Indian Armed Forces would teach the neighbouring nation how to behave responsibly with India.”
The Army Chief highlighted the positive transformation in the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. He noted a significant decline in terrorist activity, pointing out the absence of stone-throwing incidents and sloganeering today.
However, he revealed that a majority of the remaining threat comes from across the border. “Around 31 terrorists have been neutralised so far this year, of which 61 per cent were Pakistani terrorists.”
General Dwivedi termed state-sponsored terrorism a concern for India, which is focused on progress and development. He reiterated India’s long-standing policy regarding its neighbour: “Water and blood cannot flow together, and talks and terror cannot be together.”
The COAS also confirmed details for the third edition of the Indian Army’s flagship international seminar, the Chanakya Defence Dialogue, which is scheduled to take place in New Delhi from November 27th to 28th. The theme for this year’s dialogue is “Reform to Transform: Sashakt, Surakshit aur Viksit Bharat.”
The General’s remarks underscore the firm operational and diplomatic position adopted by India, signaling an end to the era of tolerance for cross-border terrorism.
