Srinagar: In a provocative statement laced with threats against Pakistan, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi on Friday warned that New Delhi would not show restraint in the event of a future conflict.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, analysts, however, view the remarks as a desperate attempt to conceal the embarrassment India faced during its May confrontation with Pakistan, when Islamabad responded forcefully under Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, countering Indian aggression with unexpected resilience.<\/p>\n
Addressing troops in Rajasthan\u2019s Anupgarh sector, Gen. Dwivedi claimed that India would act \u201cdecisively\u201d next time and threatened that Pakistan should rethink \u201cits place on the world map\u201d if it continued to resist New Delhi\u2019s designs. He also repeated the oft-used \u201ccross-border terrorism\u201d rhetoric and urged Indian troops to stay prepared for fresh military action.<\/p>\n
Observers note that such rhetoric is not new. Whenever the Indian Army fails to achieve its objectives, its leadership resorts to fiery speeches to mask its failures before the domestic audience. They say that by brandishing the terrorism bogey, Dwivedi seeks not only to malign Pakistan but also to undermine the Kashmiri people\u2019s indigenous freedom struggle.<\/p>\n
During \u201cOperation Sindoor\u201d, India launched unprovoked strikes but failed to gain any strategic advantage, forcing its leadership to retreat under international pressure. Gen Dwivedi\u2019s references to \u201cOperation Sindoor\u201d and claims of striking alleged \u201cterrorist bases\u201d inside Pakistan are seen as a narrative-building exercise to shift focus from India\u2019s own missteps and the widespread condemnation it faced for escalating regional tensions.<\/p>\n
His boast of \u201cno restraint next time\u201d further exposes New Delhi\u2019s aggressive posture, which runs counter to international calls for restraint and dialogue. Political analysts say such rhetoric is designed to whip up nationalist sentiment inside India, particularly after its military setbacks, while also trying to rally border populations in anticipation of future escalations.<\/p>\n
The remarks, they underline, lay bare New Delhi\u2019s frustration and highlight its failure to learn from history, where repeated misadventures only brought more instability to the region. KMS-3S<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
