Former Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan disclosed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi granted the military full autonomy for Operation Sindoor, allowing them to determine the timing while ensuring no chance of failure. During a speech at the Vivekananda Centre, Chauhan recounted that Prime Minister Modi conveyed his political stance in Patna on April 24, emphasizing that perpetrators would face consequences and India would not endure cross-border terrorism.

The Prime Minister's directive was clear: ensure the mission's success without human or technical errors, while maintaining complete freedom of action, a rare combination of clear political direction for military operations.
