Lieutenant General Manoj Kumar Katiyar, Western Army Commander, asserted that India’s response to future provocations from Pakistan under Operation Sindoor 2.0 would be significantly more forceful.
Western Army Commander Lieutenant General Major Manoj Kumar Katiyar on Tuesday said the Indian Army’s response to any future provocation from Pakistan under Operation Sindoor 2.0 would be “deadlier” and “more powerful” than before.
Asserting that Pakistan lacks the capability to fight a conventional war with India, Lt Gen Katiyar said Islamabad may still attempt “Pahalgam-type” attacks in keeping with its long-standing strategy of “bleed India through a thousand cuts”.
“The action we will take this time will be deadlier than the past. It would be more powerful. Yes, you are very right. It (Operation Sindoor 2.0) has to be deadlier. There is no doubt about it,” he told reporters.
Responding to a question about possible future attacks, he said, “Until there is a change in Pakistan’s thinking, it will continue to carry out such mischiefs. It does not have the capacity to fight a war with us. They do not want to fight a war. It does mischief as per its policy of ‘bleed India through a thousand cuts.’”
