No safe haven for terror: Ex-Army chief Naravane on Op Sindoor
Former Indian Army Chief General M M Naravane discussed India's response to Pakistan-backed terrorism in Gujarat's Vadodara on Saturday. He described Operation Sindoor as a "very significant shift" in India's approach to combating cross-border terrorism. Naravane explained that following the Pahalgam terror attack, the operation showcased that those supporting terrorism could no longer assume distance from the Line of Control would protect them from Indian action.
The strikes, which targeted supporters and backers in Muridke and Bahawalpur, Pakistan, marked a departure from previous operations that primarily focused on terrorist camps near the border. General Naravane emphasized that such actions demonstrated India's willingness to pursue terrorist networks beyond the immediate border region, regardless of geographical distance.
He also highlighted the importance of startups to India's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat by 2047, stating that accelerators like the India Accelerator Vadodara Startup Centre could help address challenges faced by young enterprises, such as access to finance and mentorship.
