India Ready to Strike Terror Across Borders, Offers Pakistan Help: Rajnath
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday asserted India’s unwavering commitment to combating terrorism, irrespective of its origin. He declared the Indian military’s capability to act decisively against terror threats emanating from either side of the India-Pakistan border.
Singh’s statement came amidst heightened tensions along the border. He offered assistance to Pakistan in tackling the menace, underscoring a willingness to collaborate if Islamabad genuinely desires to address the issue.
The Minister lauded Operation Sindoor, a recent successful counter-terrorism operation, as a testament to India’s growing prowess. He directly criticized the opposition for their perceived lack of support for the armed forces.
Singh further emphasized the need for increased international pressure on Pakistan to effectively curb cross-border terrorism. He highlighted India’s strides towards achieving self-reliance in defence manufacturing as crucial to its national security.
This assertive stance, coupled with the offer of assistance, signals a shift in India’s approach. The success of Operation Sindoor and the focus on self-reliance are critical factors in India’s evolving strategy to combat terrorism and safeguard its national interests. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether Pakistan accepts India’s offer and the international community’s response to the call for collaborative action.
