Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated on Thursday that the significant “dose” delivered to Pakistan during ‘Operation Sindoor’ will discourage the nation from pursuing any aggressive actions for the foreseeable future. While addressing the Army Commanders’ Conference in Jaisalmer, a city situated near the Pakistan border and the first meeting since ‘Operation Sindoor’, Singh emphasized the seriousness of the operation. He remarked, “Though Pakistan has received a heavy blow under Operation Sindoor, if it considers any trouble-making now, it should think 100 times before proceeding.” He asserted that any potential misadventures would have serious consequences.
Singh elaborated that Operation Sindoor remains in effect, albeit temporarily suspended. Drawing on mythology, he referenced an episode from the Ramayana, explaining that during the operation, Indian pilots initially evaluated the conditions but swiftly targeted enemy positions. “If our pilots engage in a real attack, it is only a matter of imagination what state they will leave Pakistan in,” he stated.
Highlighting the importance of vigilance, Singh noted that both external and internal adversaries must be closely monitored. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to enhancing infrastructure and developing border areas, expressing confidence that local communities would benefit from ongoing development efforts.
The Defence Minister urged commanders to maintain heightened alertness in the border region with Pakistan, underscoring the military’s vital role in achieving the vision of a developed India by 2047. “You must not only safeguard our borders but also contribute to building a developed India,” he reiterated.
Rajnath Singh began his three-day visit to Jaisalmer on Thursday, where the conference facilitated discussions among the Army Chief and senior commanders on crucial issues such as border security along India’s western frontier, modern warfare techniques, and advancements in defense technology. The agenda also included a review of the Army’s current “Year of Reforms,” focusing on the progress of structural and technological upgrades within the military.
On the second day of his visit, he plans to pay tribute at the Longewala border post to soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
