On the anniversary of Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army issued a stern warning to Pakistan, asserting that no terror sanctuary is safe. Former Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai stated that Indian forces have identified terror launch pads, camps, and infrastructure across the Line of Control (LoC). He emphasized that multiple clusters in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and beyond the international boundary are being closely tracked.
New Normal in Counter-Terror Operations
Lieutenant General Ghai declared that under a 'new normal', the timing and method of strikes will be decided solely by India. He warned that forces will strike at all depths to eliminate threats. 'No terror sanctuary is safe,' he said, underscoring India's readiness to act decisively.
Reactions to Pakistan's Military Leadership
When asked about remarks concerning Pakistan's military leadership, Ghai described them as being viewed with amusement. He noted the deep defence ties between Pakistan and China, adding that India is fully prepared to face all challenges emanating from this partnership.
Operation Sindoor as a Preparedness Exercise
Operation Sindoor continues as a comprehensive preparedness exercise, according to Ghai. He explained that lessons learned during the operation are being implemented, and necessary changes are being made to strengthen ongoing operations. This ensures that Indian forces remain agile and effective in counter-terrorism efforts.
Broader Implications
The warning comes amid heightened tensions along the LoC and international border. India has consistently maintained its right to preemptive strikes against terror infrastructure. The anniversary of Operation Sindoor serves as a reminder of India's resolve to protect its sovereignty and security.
