‘Showed Pakistan its ‘1,000 cuts' policy will not succeed': In J-K, Rajnath Singh says Operation Sindoor was a warning
Describing Operation Sindoor as a 'natural progression' of the 2016 surgical strike and the 2019 air strike, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday warned Pakistan that any terror attack on Indian soil will have 'very serious consequences' for it. Addressing troops at the Northern Command Headquarters in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur on the occasion of International Yoga Day, Singh said, 'We have shown Pakistan through Operation Sindoor that its 'thousand cuts' policy against India is not going to succeed. India is fully prepared for any type of action against terrorism.' The terror attack in Pahalgam was not just an incident of terrorism, but the social and communal unity was also targeted from across the border, he pointed out. 'We not only foiled their plans, but also retaliated, bringing Pakistan to its knees, and only thereafter was Operation Sindoor suspended by us,' he said. Singh emphasised that Operation Sindoor 'was not only a retaliation' to the Pahalgam terror attack. 'We conveyed to Pakistan through it that continuing terrorist attacks against India will not be tolerated…that its result is going to be from bad to worse,' Singh added. Following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, India had carried out Operation Sindoor on the intervening night of May 6 and 7, destroying terror infrastructure at various places in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Recalling the contributions made by Army officers Major Somnath Sharma and Brigadier Mohammad Usman, Rajnath Singh said, 'Pakistan wants to weaken India from inside, but should not forget that while Major Somnath Sharma gave his life for the unity and integrity of India, bravehearts like Brigadier Usman too have sacrificed their lives for the country.' Flanked by Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Singh said that Yoga means 'uniting' and one should take it in its real sense. 'Yoga means uniting all sections of society with the culture and soul of India,' he said, adding that leaving any section would mean breaking the unity and security of India. Singh urged people to perform yoga and strive for unity in thought and society as well.
