‘We were beating them and beating them, the army chief spoke openly on every aspect of Operation Sindoor
General Upendra Dwivedi, Army President
Chennai: Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said that Operation Sindoor was like a chess game. We did not know what the enemy’s next trick would be and what action we are going to take on their tricks. Somewhere we were beating them and beating them, then we were also taking the risk of losing our lives. General Upendra Dwivedi opened several secrets related to Operation Sindoor during an address in IIT Madras. He said that for this we got open exemption from political leadership.
‘Just Enough’
General Upendra Dwivedi said that after the Pahalgam attack, the whole country was filled with sorrow and resentment. This incident shook the entire country. Tourists were attacked in Pahalgam on 22 April and we held a meeting on 23 April. This was the first time Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said, ‘Bus, enough’. The three army chiefs were also fully prepared that now something has to be done.
What was the role of political leadership?
General Dwivedi said that we were given full exemption. He said- ‘Decide what to do.’ Army Chief Minister General Dwivedi said that this is the confidence, political direction and political clarity that we saw for the first time… that is what increases your morale. This helped our army chiefs to work according to their understanding by staying on the ground.
On 25 April, we visited the Northern Command, where we thought, planned, planned, and executed them. These targets were destroyed in Operation Sindoor and many terrorists were killed.
Meet PM Modi on 29 April
General Dwivedi said that on 29 April we met the Prime Minister for the first time. During that time, Operation Sindoor was discussed. General Dwivedi said that earlier it was to be named Operation Sindhu but later it was named Operation Sindoor. He said that it is important how a small name “Operation Sindoor” connects the whole country. This is one such thing that inspired the whole country.
On the question of celebration in Pakistan, Upendra Dwivedi said- If you ask a Pakistani whether you lose or win, he will say that my commander has become a field martial. We must have won, that’s why he became a field martial.
