Here's What Guru Rambhadracharya Said

Speaking to ANI, Rambhadracharya said, “I gave him the same Diksha (initiation) with the Ram Mantra which Lord Hanuman had received from Maa Sita and then conquered Lanka. I have asked for Dakshina from him, that I want PoK back,”

His comment quickly went viral and sparked varied reactions online. Social media users called it everything from “iconic” to “unreal confidence.”

Reason Behind General Dwivedi's Chitrakoot Visit

General Dwivedi visited Chitrakoot on Wednesday as part of a formal programme. He inaugurated a cutting-edge simulator machine at Sadguru Netra Chikitsalaya, a prominent eye hospital operated by the Sadguru Sewa Centre. The machine is designed for training doctors in precision surgical techniques and is the first of its kind in Madhya Pradesh.

A Sadguru Sewa Centre member explained, “Doctors first learn procedures on this machine before treating patients. It’s a vital step in ensuring precision and safety. In all of India, there are only about four to five such machines.”

During the visit, General Dwivedi also toured the hospital’s operation theatre. He observed how the centre runs and learned about its wide medical network. The facility operates around 140 vision centres and has the same number of eye surgeons working across its outreach programmes. Officials said the Army Chief showed keen interest in how the centre could support medical care for service personnel.

The visit happened just weeks after the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor. The mission, carried out on May 7, was a response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. The military targeted terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. General Dwivedi, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi and Air Force Chief Marshal AP Singh led the operation from the top.

The Indian Army also released a booklet detailing Operation Sindoor. It shows the control room where senior military officers coordinated the mission. The publication features photos of the Army, Navy and Air Force chiefs overseeing the strategy.

Meanwhile, India has sent seven parliamentary delegations abroad to speak out against terrorism. Each group is led by a Member of Parliament and aims to brief global leaders on India's firm policy against terror. The delegations are also highlighting Pakistan’s alleged support for cross-border terrorism.
