Rajnath Singh Warns Pakistan: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, while addressing a group of soldiers in Gujarat's Bhuj on Thursday, asserted the Indian military successfully achieved all the objectives of Operation Sindoor and starting a war with Pakistan by escalating the situation was not its aim. The defence minister performed a 'shastra puja' (worship of weapons) on the occasion of Dussehra.

During Operation Sindoor, Pakistan made an unsuccessful attempt to penetrate India's defence system from Leh to Sir Creek," he said. Pakistan should remember that one route to Karachi passes through the creek, Singh warned the neighbouring country.

"Even after 78 years of independence, a dispute over the border in the Sir Creek area is being stirred up. India has made several attempts to resolve it through dialogue, but there is a flaw in Pakistan's intentions; its intentions are not clear. The way in which the Pakistan army has recently expanded its military infrastructure in areas adjacent to Sir Creek reveals its intentions. The Indian Army and BSF are jointly and vigilantly protecting the borders of India," Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said.
