Rajnath Singh urged the neighbouring country to hand over designated terrorists Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed to India.
Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday issued a stern warning to Pakistan over its continued support to terrorism, urging the neighbouring country to hand over designated terrorists Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed to India.
Singh, addressing naval personnel aboard aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, said, “Pakistan needs to understand clearly that dangerous game of terrorism that it has been playing since Independence is over now.”
Reiterating India’s zero-tolerance stance on terrorism, Singh said the country would use all means available to counter the threat. “Will use every method against terror that Pak can think of, will also not hesitate to use those which Pak can’t even think of,” he declared.
“It would be in Pakistan’s interest to uproot nurseries of terrorism operating on its soil with its own hands,” Rajnath Singh added.
Referring to recent military operations, Singh described “Operation Sindoor” as a defining moment in India’s counter-terrorism efforts, “Operation Sindoor is not just a military action but India’s frontal assault against terrorism.”
“In just a short span of time, we demolished Pakistan’s terrorist bases and its intentions,” the defence minister added.
Reflecting on India’s coordinated response during past confrontations, Singh highlighted the role of the Indian Navy during the Indian Air Force’s 2019 airstrikes across the border. “When IAF destroyed terror bases on Pakistani soil, Indian Navy’s deployment in Arabian Sea confined Pak Navy to its own shores,” he noted.
