Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday (May 14, 2026) warned Pakistan against terrorism and said India would strike back decisively if provoked again.
Addressing a public gathering at Merta town in Nagaur after unveiling a statue of Rajput ruler Rao Duda, Mr. Singh said Operation Sindoor had sent a strong message to Pakistan.
"Perhaps Pakistan will not dare to look at India with hostility again. But I want to say that if it does, what has not happened till now will happen," he said.

"From the beginning, our policy was not to provoke anyone. But if anyone provokes us, we do not spare them either," Mr. Singh said.
