India on May 7 launched Operation Sindoor and struck nine terror sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to a deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 people were killed.

The defence minister further said India’s operation against Pakistan has made clear to the world that India’s war policy and technology have changed.

“The entire world has seen how you destroyed nine terrorist camps located on the soil of Pakistan. In the action taken later, several of their air bases were destroyed. During Operation Sindoor, Indian Air Force displayed not just their might but also proved to the world that now India’s war policy and technology have changed,” Singh said.

He added that the “new India” doesn’t simply endure these terror attacks but now retaliates strongly and harder.

“You have made the entire nation believe that ‘Naya Bharat ab sahan nahi karta, balki wah palat kar jawab deta hai’. I can say all I want but my words would fail to assess your actions. On behalf of a grateful nation, I extend my gratitude to you once again,” he said.

Concerns over IMF package to Pakistan

Rajnath Singh also expressed concerns over the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) recent $1 billion aid package for Pakistan, saying Islamabad would use the money to fund terrorists who target armed forces and civilians in India.

“..I believe Pakistan will spend a large portion of the funds received from the International Monetary Fund on terror infrastructure in its country….India wants IMF to re-think funding to Pakistan..,” Singh said while speaking at Bhuj airbase in Gujarat state.
