Will give a befitting reply to those who cast evil eye on India: Rajnath

Rajnath Singh assured the public that India under PM Modi's leadership will act strongly against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 28 Indians

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh assured the public on Sunday that India will give a befitting reply to those involved in regards to the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 28 Indians were killed by terrorists last month.

 

Speaking at the Sanatan Sanskrit Jagran Mahotsav event in Delhi on Sunday, Rajnath said, ‘I want to assure you that under PM Narendra Modi’s leadership, what you (people) desire will certainly happen.’

 

He added, ‘You know our PM (Narendra Modi) very well, you are familiar with his working style, determination.’

 

Speaking on the country’s military power, Rajnath said, ‘India’s power lies not only in its armed forces but also in its culture and spirituality.’

 

He added, ‘As Defence Minister, it is my responsibility to work with the armed forces and give a befitting reply to those who cast an evil eye on India.’

 

The Lucknow MP also said that India will become truly a Viksit Bharat only if it is economically strong as well as culturally and spiritually.  Notably, India has blamed Pakistan for the Pahalgam attack as the latter backs several terror groups. In its response, the Centre has taken multiple retaliotory steps in response to the Pahalgam tragedy, including revoking Indian visas of Pakistani citizens and suspending the decades-old Indus Waters Treaty.
