Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi on Saturday took a sharp swipe at Pakistan over its claim of victory during clashes with India after Operation Sindoor’s launch on May 7.

Dwivedi referred to narrative building in the aftermath of the four-day conflict, noting Islamabad’s move to promote its Army Chief Asim Munir to a five-star general and field marshal despite setbacks in the military conflict with India.

“If you ask a Pakistani whether you lost or won, he’d say, ‘My chief has become a field marshal. We must have won, that’s why he’s become a field marshal,'" Dwivedi said while speaking at an event held in IIT Madras.
