Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, while addressing a security conclave at the University of Jammu, emphasized that India has taken strong measures against terrorism under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He issued a veiled warning to Pakistan, stating that India is growing more powerful and capable of responding to any threat, both within its borders and beyond.

Singh referenced the surgical strikes conducted in 2016 and the Balakot air strike in 2019 as significant actions taken by the Indian government against terrorism. He praised Prime Minister Modi for his strong willpower and quick decision-making during critical moments. Singh stated that the surgical strikes were carried out in response to unfortunate incidents such as the terrorist attack on the army camp in Uri in 2016 and the suicide attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama in 2019.
