India’s Army Chief designates Hamas as terror group, signals strategic shift in National Policy
Indian Army Chief Gen. Upendra Dwivedi officially labeled Hamas a terrorist organization, marking India’s first such declaration. The statement aligns Hamas with LeT and TRF as security threats. This strategic shift follows Hamas members’ anti-India rhetoric in PoK and Israel’s push for the designation. The move suggests India’s counter-terror focus now extends beyond South Asia to global networks impacting Kashmir.
