India, June 3 -- Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Tuesday delivered a clear message about the unshakable resolve of the Indian Armed Forces against terrorism and said, "Professional military forces are not affected by setbacks or losses."

His statements came in the wake of India's ongoing efforts against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism under Operation Sindoor.

Speaking at a lecture in Pune, Gen Chauhan also offered an insight into the intent behind Operation Sindoor and said that the aim was "that state-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan has to stop."
