New Delhi: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has sent a stern warning to Pakistan against attempting any "misadventure" under the shadow of the war in Iran. The warning comes days before the first anniversary of the horrific 2025 Pahalgam attack and India's Operation Sindoor.
Speaking at the Sainik Samman Sammelan in poll-bound Kerala, Rajnath said India's response would be "decisive" if Pakistan tried to foment trouble by taking advantage of the turmoil in the Middle East.
"Our neighbor, given the current situation, could attempt some kind of misadventure. If that happens, India's response will be unprecedented and decisive," the minister said.
"Whether it was the surgical strikes after the Uri attack, the air strikes following Pulwama, or now Operation Sindoor... we have delivered a strong blow to terrorism," Rajnath said. However, he didn't clarify what sort of "misadventure" Pakistan might attempt or if there was any intel.

'India better mediator than Pakistan': Israeli envoyWith Pakistan positioning itself as a mediator amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Special Envoy, Foreign Ministry of Israel, dismissed Islamabad's attempts, questioning both its intent and credibility. Speaking to ANI, Hassan-Nahoum took a scathing swipe at Pakistan’s role, suggesting the country is merely trying to stay relevant on the global stage. She also flagged the nation's role in spreading "jihadi terrorism" in the world. Referring to India's diplomatic outreach, she acknowledged New Delhi's balanced stance and its ties across stakeholders. "India is a very close ally to Israel. As you know, your prime minister was here only a few days before the war. And we understand that India keeps great relations with everyone. And they can be a much better mediator, if you ask me, than Pakistan. But let's see how things develop." |
