(The Financial Express) India's Army chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi has issued a sharp warning to Pakistan, accusing the country of fuelling terrorism and threatening its existence on the map unless it ends state-backed militancy.

Speaking at an Army post in Rajasthan's Anupgarh on Friday, Gen Dwivedi said Indian forces would not show the patience exercised earlier and suggested that a second version of Operation Sindoor could soon follow if Islamabad refuses to stop spreading "terrorism".

"This time we will not maintain the restraint that we had in Operation Sindoor 1.0. This time we will do something that will make Pakistan think whether it wants to retain its place in geography or not," he was quoted as saying by the NDTV.
