“Lt. Gen. Rajiv Ghai, Air Marshal Awadhesh Kumar Bharti, and Vice Admiral AN Pramod held a live press conference regarding Operation Sindoor.”
The simultaneous appearance of top leadership from the army, air force, and navy suggests that Operation Sindoor is a multi-domain effort. By linking this operation to the upcoming DGMO talks, India is signaling that its military actions and diplomatic engagements with Pakistan are tightly integrated, likely using the operation as leverage or a point of discussion in bilateral security negotiations.
