‘Operation Sindoor not over’: Rajnath Singh warns Pakistan, says any attack on India will invite ‘disastrous’ consequences | India News
NEW DELHI: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday issued a strong warning to Pakistan, saying that ‘Operation Sindoor’ is not over yet and any future act of terrorism against India would invite severe consequences.“Any terror attack on the soil of India will prove disastrous for Pakistan. India is ready to take any type of action against terrorism,” Singh said while addressing soldiers at the Northern Command headquarters in Udhampur, where he participated in International Yoga Day celebrations.With Army chief Upendra Dwivedi by his side, he added, “Operation Sindoor is not over yet… through this operation, we have told Pakistan that continuing terrorism against India will not be tolerated and the response will get from bad to worse.”Under Operation Sindoor, the Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir during the night of May 6 and 7. The strikes were carried out in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 people, most of them tourists.Singh described Operation Sindoor as a natural extension of the 2016 surgical strikes and the 2019 air strike across the border.“We conveyed to Pakistan that its policy of thousand cuts against India will not succeed,” the defence minister asserted.Later, while attending the ‘barakhana’ organised on the eve of Yoga Day, the Union Minister encouraged army personnel to prioritise their physical and mental well-being, emphasizing the crucial role of strength and wellness in a soldier’s life. “If you are strong, our borders will be strong. When the borders are strong, India will be strong,” he said.
