'Will wipe off Pakistan from the map, India won't exercise restraint any more'; Army Chief issues warning

JAIPUR: India has warned that it will wipe Pakistan off the map if it does not stop supporting terrorism. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said this while speaking at a military event in Anupgarh in Rajasthan. He warned that India would launch the second version of 'Operation Sindoor' if Pakistan refuses to stop encouraging terrorism. He also hinted that the Indian military will not exercise any more restraint in that matter.

"This time, we won't show the restraint we showed in Operation Sindoor 1.0. We will definitely do something that will make Pakistan think about whether they want to retain their place on the map or not. If they wish for the country Pakistan to remain on the map, they should first put an end to the government-sponsored terrorism," General Upendra Dwivedi said.

General Dwivedi's warning came soon after Air Chief Marshal clarified that the Indian forces had shot down four or five warplanes of Pakistan, including US-made F-16 planes and Chinese-made JF-17, during Operation Sindoor in May.

The Army Chief said that during Operation Sindoor, India had a strong determination that the lives of innocent people would not be affected and military targets would not be destroyed. He said that the Indian army focused on eliminating terrorists' hideouts, training centres and their masterminds.

He added that India also presented the evidence regarding the terrorist hideouts destroyed through Operation Sindoor to the world and that if India had not done so, Pakistan would have hidden the truth. The Army Chief honoured three officials who performed bravely in Operation Sindoor.
