Operation Sindoor 2.0 will be deadlier, says Western Command chief
Jammu, Oct. 15 -- General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) of Western Command, lieutenant general Manoj Kumar Katiyar, on Tuesday, said that Pakistan may pull off another Pahalgam like terror attack and warned the rogue counter of a more deadlier Operation Sindoor 2.0.
Talking to reporters at an ex-servicemen's rally here in Satwari cantonment, Lt Gen Katiyar said, "Compelled by its deceitful nature and no guts of fighting an open war against India, we feel that Pakistan may try to stage another Pahalgam like terror attack. However, our armed forces are capable of foiling all their sinister designs and make them bite the dust like they do every time."
"Unless Pakistan changes its way of thinking, it will continue to take actions detrimental to us. During Operation Sindoor, we destroyed its airbases and posts, but it may try something again. Whatever action we take this time, it will be more than last time. Operation Sindoor 2.0 has to be more deadly," he added.
Addressing the rally to commemorate 60 years of the 1965 India-Pakistan War, Lt Gen Katiyar said that Operation Sindoor was successful due to the support from the administration, ex-servicemen and local people. "Terrorists killed our innocent people in Pahalgam. The Indian Army gave a befitting reply to Pakistan. Operation Sindoor was successful as we got the support from the administration, ex-servicemen and local people," he said.
The Western army commander assured the public of the Indian Army's readiness to thwart future attacks by the neighbouring nation. "Pakistan will try to attack us again; they always try to do a Pahalgam-like attack, and we have to be alert. I assure you that the India Army is ready to thwart any nefarious designs of Pakistan," he said.
Recounting the 1965 war, he said that the reason for Pakistan's defeat was that they underestimated the patriotism of the people of J&K. "We won the trust of the people of the nation after defeating Pakistan in the 1965 war, and that trust is intact today."...
