Western Army Commander Lieutenant General Manoj Kumar Katiyar stated that while Pakistan lacks the capacity for conventional warfare against India, it may attempt further Pahalgam-style terrorist attacks. He emphasized that the Indian Army is fully prepared for such threats and that Operation Sindoor 2.0 will be even deadlier than its predecessor. Katiyar acknowledged the support from civilians, veterans, and the administration during past operations, asserting that India’s military response has significantly damaged Pakistan’s capabilities. He urged vigilance against Pakistan’s ongoing strategy of “bleed India through a thousand cuts,” reinforcing the Indian Army’s resolve to protect national interests. This statement underscores India’s commitment to countering terrorism and maintaining regional security amidst persistent external threats.
