Op Sindoor demonstrates transition from diplomatic statements to concrete action on terror: Rajnath Singh

NEW DELHI: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Thursday that decisive action under Operation Sindoor conveyed an unequivocal global message that India is no longer bound by the old mindset of merely issuing diplomatic statements when terror attacks are perpetrated on its soil.

Addressing a National Security Summit in New Delhi, the Defence Minister said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has moved beyond mere intent and rhetoric by demonstrating its unwavering commitment through decisive action.

Rajnath Singh asserted that the government has maintained a firm stance that any act of terrorism, under any circumstances, will not be tolerated.

He described the surgical strikes, airstrikes, and Operation Sindoor as a manifestation of the government’s resolute stance against the menace.

On Pakistan’s continuous support to terrorism, he said: “Both India and Pakistan attained independence at the same time. However, today India is recognised globally for IT - ‘Information Technology’, while Pakistan is regarded as the epicentre of a different IT - ‘International Terrorism’.

Rajnath Singh termed Operation Sindoor as a shining example of jointness and synergy of the Indian Defence Forces.
