Chief of the Army Staff, General Upendra Dwivedi, said that for the first time in India’s history, the armed forces were given complete operational freedom by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during critical national security operations. Speaking at an event at TRS College in Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa, General Dwivedi emphasized that this decisive leadership and clarity of vision enabled the military to execute strategies effectively and deliver a historic victory under Operation Sindoor. “The third ‘C’ is clarity. The thinking of our political leadership was clear. They gave us a free hand. It has never happened in history before that the Prime Minister gave such freedom to the forces,” he said.
