Op Sindoor a trailer: Army chief issues warning to Pak

Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi on Monday likened the four-day military confrontation with Pakistan in May under Operation Sindoor to a trailer, saying the film hadn't even begun, a stern warning to the neighbour of an overwhelming response if it attempted any mischief.

“As far as Sindoor 1.0 is concerned...the movie had not even started. We just showed them a trailer and that trailer ended in 88 hours... We are fully prepared for how things unfold in the future, and if Pakistan gives us a chance (again), we will educate them on how a responsible nation should behave with its neighbours,” Dwivedi said at a curtain-raiser to the Chanakya Defence Dialogue scheduled to take place on November 27-28.

Operation Sindoor marked New Delhi's direct military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. India launched the operation in the early hours of May 7 and struck terror and military installations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) before the May 10 ceasefire.
