Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, while addressing soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir, launched a scathing attack on Pakistan over its repeated appeals for financial aid from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Echoing a popular Bollywood dialogue with a twist, he said, “Wherever Pakistan stands, the queue of beggars starts from there.” He mocked the neighboring nation for becoming a habitual borrower, saying its economic condition has deteriorated to the point where it relies completely on aid from institutions like the IMF and the World Bank. In stark contrast, he proudly stated that India is now among the countries that contribute to the IMF to help poorer nations, highlighting the rising global status of India versus the declining credibility of Pakistan.

Post ‘Operation Sindoor’, Defence Minister Visits Troops in Kashmir

Following the success of Operation Sindoor, Rajnath Singh visited troops stationed at the Badami Bagh cantonment in Kashmir. He was accompanied by Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. During the visit, he commended the Indian Army’s bravery and effectiveness in dealing with terrorism and cross-border threats. Singh emphasized that Indian forces have now reached a point where they don’t just defend but take the fight to enemy hideouts. He said that the success of Operation Sindoor has made it clear to terrorists and their handlers hiding in Pakistan that they are no longer safe—even across the border.

India Prefers Peace, But Will Never Compromise on Sovereignty

In his speech, Singh made it clear that while India has always prioritized peace, it will never shy away from retaliating when its sovereignty is challenged. He reiterated that India has never been a nation that seeks war, but it cannot remain silent in the face of repeated provocations. A strong nation, he said, not only respects its armed forces but also equips them with modern weapons and support. He expressed pride that the Indian government is actively empowering its forces with the latest technologies, infrastructure, and systems to make them even more formidable against any threat.

No More Fear of Nuclear Blackmail

Rajnath Singh didn’t mince words when referring to Pakistan’s past threats of nuclear retaliation. He called out the irresponsibility of a nation that often uses its nuclear arsenal as a tool for blackmail. He stressed that India is no longer intimidated by such threats and has responded firmly through precision operations like Sindoor. The Defence Minister proudly declared that the Indian Army’s aim is deadly accurate—and when they strike, enemies are left counting their losses. The tone of his speech made it evident that India is no longer willing to tolerate terror networks operating under Pakistan’s protection.

Pakistan’s Nukes Should Be Under Global Surveillance, Says Rajnath

Ending his address on a serious note, Rajnath Singh posed a significant question to the international community: Can nuclear weapons be considered safe in the hands of an unstable and economically bankrupt nation like Pakistan? He urged global institutions like the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to step in and bring Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal under international supervision. According to Singh, the world must recognize the risk of allowing such a country to possess nuclear weapons unchecked. His warning was not just directed at Pakistan, but also served as a wake-up call to global leaders—to act before such irresponsibility becomes a global threat.
