New Delhi: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Upendra Dwivedi on Monday described Operation Sindoor as an 88-hour trailer which ended even before the screening of the main movie, warning that the military is ready with all preparations to teach Pakistan a lesson if it calls for it.

Speaking at the curtain raiser of Chanakya Defence Dialogue 2025, the Army Chief said the armed forces are prepared for dealing sternly with any eventuality in future.

On Operation Sindoor, he said, “I would like to say that the movie never even began; only a trailer was shown, and that trailer lasted 88 hours. As for the future, we are fully prepared.”

“If someone in Pakistan gives us such an opportunity again, we will certainly teach them how a responsible nation should behave with its neighbours,” he said.
