Rajnath Singh Warns Pakistan of Decisive Response

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh warned Pakistan on Thursday that any misadventure by the neighboring country would prompt an unprecedented and decisive response from India, amid ongoing tensions from the West Asia conflict.

Speaking at the Veer Sainik Samman event in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, Singh addressed ex-servicemen and emphasized India's heightened vigilance along the border. The event, organized to honor army veterans, coincided with Singh's visit to the state for election-related activities. He stated, "Our neighbor, in the current situation, can commit any misadventure. If it does so, India's action will be unprecedented and decisive."

Singh referenced Operation Sindoor, launched in May 2025 following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians. He described the operation as India's largest military action against terrorism to date, in which armed forces targeted and destroyed terrorist hideouts and infrastructure across the border in Pakistan within 22 minutes. "This operation has not been closed yet," Singh said. "If any mischief is carried out from across the border, not only will a befitting response be given, but there will be unprecedented action."
