Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan said on Tuesday (August 5, 2025) that the Indian Army will have to be ready to respond to all kinds of violent attacks from Pakistan.
According to the PTI report, he said that there is a need to challenge Pakistan’s ‘full-dimensional resistance theory’ and the CDS also emphasized that terrorists cannot hide in any part of Pakistan. Addressing a program in Delhi, CDS General Anil Chauhan said these things.
In the inaugural session of the annual ‘Trident’ lecture series, he reiterated that military preparations should be of extremely high level, there is a need to be ready round the clock and 365 days a year. He told the soldiers that there is little difference between war and peace, but it seems that in today’s time this difference is getting blurred and they are merging into each other.
CDS General Anil Chauhan said, “We need to create more space for traditional campaigns between unconventional and nuclear areas.” He said that terrorists cannot hide anywhere on the land of Pakistan. General Anil Chauhan also emphasized that the Indian Army should have the ability to penetrate both stable and dynamic goals located at a very distance.
He said, ‘We have to be ready to respond to any violent action taken by Pakistan, whether it is done from inside the state or from outside the state, and this is the first criteria, which we have to understand. This is a new criteria for all of us.
CDS General Anil Chauhan said that another military standard is that there will now be more dependence on nuclear policy, which has become the foundation of traditional military operations. He said that another standard would be that India will have to be technically ahead of its opponents.
