Rajnath Singh on Friday issued a strong warning to Pakistan, saying it would face the full force of the Indian Navy if it engages in any “evil” activity, a statement issued by the Defence PRO said
“Operation Sindoor is not just a military action, but India’s frontal assault against terrorism, and if Pakistan resorts to anything evil or unethical, it will, this time, face the firepower and ire of the Indian Navy,” said Singh while addressing officers and sailors onboard INS Vikrant off the Goa coast on May 30
Rajnath Singh called the Indian Navy’s actions a “frontal assault against terrorism” and said the Carrier Battle Group had effectively kept the Pakistani Navy confined to its ports during the operation
The Defence Minister also stated that Pakistan must stop using its soil for terrorist activities and hand over individuals like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar, who are both UN-designated terrorists and wanted in India for their role in attacks such as the 2008 Mumbai attacks. He referred to Tahawwur Rana, recently extradited to India, as an example of India’s resolve to bring terrorists to justice, the official statement said
He praised the Indian Armed Forces for their speed, precision, and coordination during Operation Sindoor. The Indian Air Force targeted terror bases, while the Navy carried out missile and torpedo tests from both the western and eastern coasts within 96 hours of the Pahalgam terror attack, demonstrating India’s preparedness
