Op Sindoo: New India will respond with strength, strategy: Rajnath Singh

Jammu, June 20 (UNI) Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said that Operation Sindoor has sent a powerful message to terrorists and their patrons that New India is assertive, resolute and will no longer be a victim of terrorism, but respond with strength and strategy.
Interacting with soldiers at Northern Command, Udhampur after his arrival on Friday evening to participate in the International Yoga Day, Singh commended the precision, coordination and courage of the Armed Forces and intelligence agencies in destroying terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK, asserting that India’s change in policy towards terrorism is a result of this unmatched valour and dedication.
He described Operation Sindoor as not just a military action, but a warning to the terrorists across the border and those who support them that India will no longer tolerate terrorism and give a befitting reply if its unity and integrity is harmed.
“Operation Sindoor is not over yet. This is just a pause. I want to tell this to my neighboring country,” he added.
Singh defined the life of a soldier as the one filled with courage and sacrifice, adding that the nation will forever remain indebted to the services rendered by the Armed Forces in the duty of the motherland.
At the Barakhana organised on the eve of International Day of Yoga 2025, he urged the personnel to keep focusing on physical and mental well-being, underlining the importance of strength and wellness in a soldier’s life.
“If you are strong, our borders will be strong. When the borders are strong, India will be strong,” he said.
A cultural programme comprising Khukri Dance, Bhangra, Kalari Pattu and Jhanz Patak was also organised as part of the event.
Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Command Lt Gen Pratik Sharma, and other senior Indian Army officials were present on the occasion.
