New Delhi- Operation Sindoor gave Pakistan a“good dose” of caution, and it will now think twice before attempting any“misadventure” against India, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Thursday.
In an interaction with soldiers in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer, the defence minister, at the same time, asked the armed forces to stay vigilant, as India's“adversaries are never inactive”.

Sending a stern warning to Pakistan, Singh said the Indian military will deliver a harsher response if it resorts to any misadventure.

“Pakistan will now think twice before attempting any misadventure against India, as our Armed Forces have given them a good dose of caution during Operation Sindoor,” he said.

The defence minister was interacting with army troops during a 'Bara-Khana'.

Singh reiterated that Operation Sindoor is not over and it has only been halted, adding a harsher response will be given if Pakistan resorts to any misadventure.

“Our pilots displayed only a demo of India's power to Pakistan. If given an opportunity, they will showcase our real strength,” he said.

In response to the Pahalgam terror attack, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, carrying out airstrikes on terrorist infrastructure in territories controlled by Pakistan.

The strikes triggered four days of intense clashes that ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions on May 10.

In his remarks, Singh highlighted the role the armed forces can play in realising the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government's vision of establishing India as a developed and self-reliant nation by 2047.

“Our soldiers are not only the protectors of the borders but are the pioneers of nation-building. This century is ours; the future is ours, and with the strides we have made towards self-reliance, I am confident that our military will undoubtedly become the best in the world,” he said.
