Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has said that there has been a significant decline in terrorist activity in Jammu and Kashmir. Addressing a curtain raiser of the Chankya Defence Dialogue, 2025 in New Delhi, General Dwivedi said that around 31 terrorists have been neutralised so far this year, of which 61 per cent were Pakistani terrorists. He said, today, there are no stone-throwing incidents and no sloganeering. General Dwivedi said that India is ready to respond to any form of warfare. He said those who will promote and sponsor terrorism will be given a befitting reply.
The Army Chief said that Operation Sindoor was just a trailer, which ended in 88 hours. He said, India is prepared for any circumstances in future. General Dwivedi said, if Pakistan ever did a misdeed, the India Armed Forces would teach the neighbouring nation how to behave responsibly with India. The Army Chief said that state-sponsored terrorism is a concern for India because it always talks about progress and development. He said, as far as the new normal is concerned, India has always said that water and blood cannot flow together, and talks and terror can not be together.
General Dwivedi informed that the third edition of the Indian Army’s flagship international seminar, the Chanakya Defence Dialogue, will be held in New Delhi from 27th to 28th November. The theme for this year’s dialogue is Perform to Transform: Sashakt, Surakshit aur Viksit Bharat.
