India Warns Pakistan of Naval Firepower in Response to Terrorism
Goa: Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh warned Pakistan that any evil act of terrorism will face the firepower and ire of the Indian Navy. Addressing officers and sailors onboard INS Vikrant, India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier, Singh emphasized that Operation Sindoor is not just a military action but a frontal assault against terrorism.
“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 Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh.
Singh commended the Indian Navy’s role in Operation Sindoor, stating that the Carrier Battle Group ensured the Pakistani Navy did not venture out. He demanded that Pakistan hand over terrorists like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar to India, emphasizing that talks will only be on terrorism and PoK.
Singh praised the Indian Navy’s aggressive deployment in the Arabian Sea and unmatched maritime domain awareness. He urged the Navy to continue preparing for any situation, reiterating Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s message that any terrorist attack on Indian soil will be considered an “Act of War.”
Singh sent a clear message to Pakistan that if it tries to cast an evil eye, the opening of New Delhi’s response will be at the hands of the Indian Navy. He asserted that India’s response will be harsher if Pakistan makes the same mistake again.
“Within a very short span of time, we destroyed Pakistan’s terrorist base and its intentions. Our response was so strong that Pakistan pleaded to stop. We stopped our military actions on our own terms. Our forces had not even started showing their might,” Minister said.
The Raksha Mantri lauded the speed, depth, and clarity of the Armed Forces during Operation Sindoor, stating that the precision strikes displayed seamless synergy among the three Services. He added that the operation sent a clear message to terrorists and their patrons that India will no longer tolerate and give a befitting reply.
The Indian Navy played a crucial role in Operation Sindoor, with the Carrier Battle Group demonstrating its combat readiness and force projection capabilities. Singh praised the Navy’s strategic role in strengthening India’s presence in the region.
The Raksha Mantri concluded by emphasizing India’s resolve against terrorism and the Indian Navy’s importance in safeguarding the nation’s interests. He warned Pakistan that India will not hesitate to take strong action against terrorism and will respond firmly to any evil act.
