Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, the former Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) in India, made remarks regarding General Asim Munir's recent promotion to field marshal, which occurred shortly after Operation Sindoor. Ghai expressed that India views this promotion with amusement, particularly in light of the operation's outcomes. Operation Sindoor, which took place in May 2022, was a significant military action by India, targeting nine high-value terrorist launch pads across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. The operation was initiated in response to a terror strike in Pahalgam and aimed to dismantle terrorist bases. During the operation, Indian forces claimed to have eliminated over 100 terrorists, including notable figures such as Yusuf Azhar and Abdul Malik Rauf. Additionally, Indian Air Force officials reported that 13 Pakistani aircraft were destroyed and 11 airfields were struck during these operations, demonstrating India's capability to reach critical installations deep within Pakistani territory. Ghai noted that Pakistan had requested India to cease operations during this time, but India maintained a calibrated response to achieve its objectives without escalating into prolonged conflict.
