Bhuj: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today sent a strong warning to Pakistan, stating that any misadventure in the Sir Creek region would be met with a decisive response. Speaking to soldiers after performing the Shastra Puja ceremony at the military station in Bhuj, he highlighted India’s successful defence record.
He said that during Operation Sindoor, Pakistan failed to breach India’s defence lines from Leh to Sir Creek. In retaliation, the Indian Army exposed Pakistan’s air defence system, sending a clear message to the world that India can inflict significant damage on Pakistan whenever and wherever necessary.
