What Army chief said on Operation Sindoor 1.0?
“India, as a country, is fully prepared this time. And this time, it will not show the restraint that it showed during Operation Sindoor 1.0. This time we will take a step forward and act in a manner that will make Pakistan think whether it wants to remain on the world map or not,” General Dwivedi said in a sternly-worded address to soldiers at Anupgarh in Rajasthan’s Sriganganagar district as per a report carried by PTI news agency.
“We had identified the targets because we only wanted to harm the terrorists. We had aimed to strike their bases. We have no complaints against ordinary Pakistani citizens, so long as their country does not sponsor terrorists. Because terrorists were being sponsored, those terrorist targets were hit,” Gen. Dwivedi added in his statement.
