Indian Army Chief Dwivedi Warns Pakistan Over Terrorist Havens

During a civil‑military dialogue in Delhi, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi warned Pakistan that continued support for terrorist groups and hostile actions against India would force it to decide “whether it wants to be part of the geography or the history.” He made the statement in the context of Operation Sindoor, the Indian retaliation launched after the May 2025 Pahalgam attack, which involved precise strikes on terrorist bases across the Line of Control and in Pakistan‑occupied Kashmir. The operation ended with an 88‑hour cease‑fire on May 10, after both sides agreed to de‑escalate. Dwivedi emphasized that India would show “no leniency” toward any cross‑border terrorism and signaled the warning as a strategic diplomatic message rather than an immediate declaration of military action.
