On Monday evening, Rajnath Singh hailed PM Modi’s address to the nation and the world for delivering a firm message against terrorism.
In a message on social media platform X, the Defence Minister said, “In his address to the nation today, Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi has put India's policy against terrorism before the whole world with great clarity and firmness. His address is not only an expression of India's sentiment, but it is also a presentation of our country's military, diplomatic and moral strength.”
Rajnath Singh said, “The Prime Minister has also made it clear that if there will be any talks with Pakistan in the future, then the talks will be only on terrorism and POK. He has also openly praised the valour and courage of the Indian forces during #OperationSindoor. The whole country is proud of the Indian forces. I thank the Prime Minister for his strong leadership.”
Earlier on Sunday, Rajnath Singh congratulated the armed forces for the success of the operation and said, “Operation Sindoor was not just a military action, but a symbol of India's political, social and strategic will power.”
