Defense Minister Rajnath Singh addressed India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, addressing officers and sailors away from Goa coast, “Operation Sindor is not just a military action, but India’s frontal attack against terrorism.”
The Defense Minister said, “Operation Sindor is not only a military action, but India’s frontal attack against terrorism, and if Pakistan resorts to anything evil or immorality, this, this time, will face the Indian Navy’s firepower and IRE,” said the Defense Minister.
Appreciating the “silent service” of the Indian Navy during Operation Sindoor, Rajnath Singh said that the powerful carrier war group ensured that the Pakistani Navy did not enter the venture, otherwise it would have to face the results. He sent a clear message to Pakistan that if he tries to put a bad eye, the reaction of New Delhi would be inaugurated by the Indian Navy.
Rajnath Singh claimed that Pakistan needs to understand that it is time that it has been playing since its independence. “Now, if Pakistan provokes any terrorist Act against India, it will have to bear the results and face defeat. India will not hesitate. It will use every method to prevent the threat of terrorism,” he said.
The Defense Minister said that anti-India activities are being openly done with Pakistani soil, and India is completely independent to complete all kinds of operations against terrorists on both sides of the border and sea. Today, the whole world is accepting India’s right to save its citizens from terrorism, he said, insisting that Pakistan should overthrow the nursery of terrorism working on its soil with its own hands.
Rajnath Singh called upon India to hand over terrorists like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar. “Both are not in India’s list of ‘most wanted terrorists’, they are also the nominated terrorists of the United Nations.
Tavavur Rana, an accused in Mumbai attacks, has recently been brought to India. Hafiz Saeed is also guilty of Mumbai attacks, and justice for his crime should be done, ”he said.
On the proposal of Pakistan’s repeated talks, the Defense Minister again clarified: “If there is talk, it will only be on terrorism and poke. If Pakistan is serious about the talks, it should be handed over to India like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar so that justice is given so that justice is served.”
Describing the role of the Indian Navy in the integrated operation as admirable, Rajnath Singh said that when the Indian Air Force destroyed the terrorist bases on Pakistani soil, the Navy’s aggressive deployment in the Arabian Sea, its unmatched piracy awareness and domination limited their own side.
“Our western fleet ships deployed to the sea, within 96 hours of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, successfully firing of air missiles and torpedo from the surface and surface from the surface and surface on the western and east coast.
He said that the projection of the carrier war group effectively indicated India’s intentions and capacity. He said that the tremendous power of the Indian Navy, its military skills and disastrous abilities have broken the morale of the enemy, he said. He urged the Navy to leave no stone unturned in his preparations, reiterating the clear message of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi that if a terrorist attack takes place on Indian land, it would be considered as’ war ‘work’ and will be responded in the same way.
Rajnath Singh assured that Operation Sindoor is not over yet; This is just a break, a warning. He said that if Pakistan makes only one mistake again, India’s answer will be harsh.
Appreciating the speed, depth and clarity of the armed forces during Operation Sindoor, the Defense Minister said that accurate attacks demonstrated a spontaneous synergy between three services as well as coordination between ministries and government agencies. He said that the operation sent a clear message to the terrorists and its guardians that India would no longer tolerate and give an answer. “Within a very short time, we destroyed Pakistan’s terrorist base and its intentions. Our response was so strong that Pakistan requested to stop. We stopped our military tasks on our own terms. Our army also did not start showing its strength,” he said.
After his conversation with the army and Air Force personnel and now after the subsequent vermilion of the Navy warriors, Rajnath Singh expressed satisfaction that whether Bhumi, Akash or Sea, India is fully prepared to deal with any situation anywhere. Recalling the contribution of the old version of INS Vikrant during the liberation of Goa, he said that the aircraft carrier led the Indian Navy fleet during the operation in 1961, and now, in its new indigenous avatar, it is fulfilling India’s resolve against terrorism.
He further concluded his address by saying: “Today, we are in an era where wars are not only fought with bullets and bombs, but also through cyberspace, data dominance and strategic preventive. It is a matter of pride that the Navy is moving forward in these areas.”
He not only described the Indian Navy as a guard of the Indian Ocean, but a strategic force that strengthens India’s presence in the region. This warns the enemy that India is no longer a regional power, but is moving towards becoming a global power, he said.
Onboard Ins Vikrant, along with Rajnath Singh, was accompanied by the head of Navy Staff Admiral Dinesh’s Tripathi; Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief Western Naval Command Vice Admiral Sanjay J Singh and other senior Indian Navy officials. (AI)
