New Delhi: Director General Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai on Tuesday revealed that the Indian Navy had sailed into the Arabian Sea and was ready for action when Pakistan reached out and called for a ceasefire of hostilities after four days of military conflict in May.
“The Indian Navy was also in action… The Navy had sailed into the Arabian Sea and when the DGMO spoke, they were very well poised. Had the enemy decided to take it any further, it could have been catastrophic for them and not only from the sea but from other dimensions,” the DGMO said.
The DGMO made the statement while speaking at the United Nations Troop Contributing Countries’ (UNTCC) Chiefs’ Conclave.
The DGMO revealed that Pakistan begged for a cessation of hostilities in just 88 hours following India’s decisive military and strategic response.
Lt Gen Ghai stated that the swift capitulation from Islamabad affirmed India’s political and military objectives, warning that “further conflict would have been catastrophic” for Pakistan.
