The Chief of Indian Army, General Upendra Dwivedi sent a stern warning to Pakistan. He asserted that any provocative atrocities from Pakistan will be answered with Operation Sindoor 2.0 where there won’t be any scope for the self-imposed ‘restraint’. He further added that so, Pakistan has to decide whether they have to stay in the history and on the map or vanish in the hands of India. Thus, the Chief of Army reiterated that if Pakistan aspires to remain in the world geography then it has to stop backing terrorism, apparently that the only option available for a country that has state-sponsor terrorism in its roots.
During Operation Sindoor, India restrained itself from harming the civilian spaces. It did precision attack on the terror establishments of LeT, JeM terror networks in parts of PoJK and in Muridke, Bahawalpur deep inside Pakistan mainland. India also ensured that there is no occurrence of collateral damage. However, if Operation Sindoor 2.0 is launched such restraints will not be self-imposed and India will give a befitting reply to Pakistan to such a severe extent that its existence on map has to be doubted.
General Upendra Dwivedi was addressing the Army Post at Anupgarh in Rajasthan. He said, if Operation Sindoor 2.0 is unleashed then unlike the previous time(Operation Sindoor 1.0), there won’t be any restraint and the scale of the Operation will be manifold and massive. General Dwivedi visited the Army Post to oversee the operational preparedness of the Indian Army incase of a conflict with Pakistan. “The motive behind my visit here was to see our preparedness if Operation Sindoor takes place. I am confident that if we get the chance, we are fully prepared. Whenever we get an opportunity, we would definitely head towards a positive result and the result would be in our favour” asserted the Army Chief.

During the visit to Anupgarh military post, Army Chief also honoured three army officers for their remarkable feat during Operation Sindoor. BSF 140th Battalion Commandant Prabhakar Singh, Rajputana Rifles Major Ritesh Kumar and Havildar Mohit Gaira received the special recognition.
Army Chief further exclaimed, “If God wills, you’ll get an opportunity soon. All the best”, meaning if time arises India has to defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity and strategic autonomy. However, General Dwivedi was confident of India’s operational preparedness and ability to devastate and ruin the terror sponsoring state of Pakistan.
