Kutchch: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said that India’s fight against terrorism is not just a matter of security, it has now become a part of the national defence doctrine, and we will root out this hybrid and proxy warfare.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was addressing the air warriors at the Bhuj Air Force Station in Gujarat on Friday.
He asserted that the current ceasefire means that India has kept Pakistan on probation based on its behaviour. If the behaviour improves, he said the harshest punishment will be given if there is any disturbance.
The Defence Minister made it clear that Operation Sindoor is not yet over.
“Our actions were just a trailer. We will show the full picture, if need be. ‘Attacking and eliminating terrorism’ is the new normal of the new India,” said Rajnath Singh.
Stating that Pakistan has again started to rebuild its terror infrastructure destroyed by India, Rajnath Singh called upon the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to reconsider its one-billion-dollar assistance to Islamabad and refrain from providing any support in future as well.
“Pakistan will spend the tax collected from its citizens to give around Rs 14 crore to Masood Azhar, the head of the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist organisation, even though he is a UN-designated terrorist. The Pakistan government has also announced financial assistance to rebuild the terror infrastructure of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed located in Muridke and Bahawalpur,” he said.
“Certainly, a large part of the IMF’s one billion dollars in assistance will be used to fund the terror infrastructure. Will this not be considered indirect funding by the IMF, an international organisation? Any financial assistance to Pakistan is no less than terror funding. The funds India gives to the IMF should not be used, directly or indirectly, to create terror infrastructure in Pakistan or any other country,” said Rajnath Singh.
Singh commended the effective role played by the Indian Air Force (IAF) in Operation Sindoor, which is being appreciated by the world.
Lauding the air warriors for eliminating the terror camps in Pakistan and Pok in just 23 minutes, he said, “When missiles were dropped inside the enemy territory, the world heard the echoes of India’s valour and might”. He added that IAF spearheaded this campaign against terrorism, and during the operation, it not only dominated the enemy but also decimated them.”
He highlighted that India’s fighter aircraft are capable of striking every corner of Pakistan without crossing the border.
“The world has witnessed how the IAF destroyed terror camps and later Pakistan’s airbases. IAF provided proof that India’s war policy and technology had changed. They conveyed the message of New India that we are not just dependent on weapons and platforms imported from abroad. Still, Made in India equipment has become a part of our military power. The weapons manufactured in India are also impenetrable,” he said.
