Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, speaking at the inauguration of the BrahMos missile plant, on Sunday said that the Indian Army, through Operation Sindoor, has delivered justice to those whose families were devastated by terror attacks. “The anti-India and terrorist organisations that attacked India have been brought to justice by the Indian Army through Operation Sindoor. The entire nation is saluting the Indian forces for this,” he said.
Singh emphasised that Operation Sindoor was not just a military action, but a reflection of India’s political, social, and strategic resolve. “This operation displays India’s firm will against terrorism and the capability and determination of our military power. We have shown that whenever India acts against terrorism, even the land across the border won’t remain safe for terrorists and their masters,” he added.
The Defence Minister said the operation was launched to dismantle terror infrastructure in Pakistan. “We never targeted their civilians. But Pakistan not only targeted Indian civilian areas, it even attempted attacks on temples, gurdwaras, and churches.”
He praised the Indian Army’s restraint and courage. “Our forces gave a strong response by striking several military targets in Pakistan. The impact of our operations was felt not only near the border but also in Rawalpindi, where the Pakistani army’s headquarters is located,” Singh said.
Referring to past operations, Singh said the world saw India’s response after the Uri and Pulwama attacks. “After Uri, we carried out surgical strikes. After Pulwama, we launched airstrikes in Balakot. And now, after Pahalgam, the world is witnessing India carry out multiple strikes inside Pakistan.”
He concluded by reaffirming the government’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it clear — this is a new India, and it will respond to terrorism both from this side and the other side of the border.”
