Always known for his calm demeanor, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh did not hold back this time, delivering a strong statement to Pakistan. His recent remarks at the Bhuj Rudra Mata Air Force Station underscore India’s assertive military posture in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. Singh clearly stated that the operation is far from over and warned Pakistan that what has been seen so far is merely a "trailer." This statement signals India’s preparedness to intensify its response should further provocations occur. His assertion that Pakistan is "on probation" reflects a wait-and-watch approach while keeping open the option for future military actions.
Operation Sindoor was launched following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. In a decisive move, India conducted deep strikes targeting terrorist hideouts and critical military infrastructure inside Pakistan, resulting in the elimination of over 100 militants and significant damage to Pakistani air capabilities. The operation marked a strategic shift in India’s counter-terrorism doctrine, setting a new precedent for direct and forceful retaliation.
Currently, although a ceasefire is in place, tensions remain high along the Line of Control. India has made it clear that dialogue with Pakistan is off the table until terrorism is dismantled, and that the only negotiable issue is the return of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The global community is closely watching the situation, with many supporting India’s stand against terrorism while expressing concern about the potential for escalation between two nuclear powers.
