New Delhi, July 28 (KNO): Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said that terrorism and talks cannot happen together and that India will act again if Pakistan repeats any “misadventure”.
Initiating discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, Rajanth Singh, per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said the operation was based on a detailed assessment and aimed only at terror camps, with no civilian areas targeted.
He said India had made several efforts to build peaceful ties with Pakistan, but these were repeatedly met with violence. “Whenever India extended a hand of friendship, the response was war,” he said.
He added reports about the operation being paused under external pressure are incorrect. “This is completely wrong. In my political life, I have tried not to speak untruths,” he said.
Singh further said India’s defence systems prevented damage to any key assets. “Our aim was not to occupy territory or start a full-scale war. It was only to locate and destroy terror camps. If there is any misadventure, the operation will resume,” he said—(KNO)
