Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday issued a strong warning to Pakistan, saying it would face the full force of the Indian Navy if it engages in any “evil” activity, a statement issued by the Defence PRO said. 

Speaking aboard India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant, Singh praised the Navy’s role in Operation Sindoor and made it clear that India would not hesitate to respond to terrorism.

“Operation Sindoor is not just a military action, but India’s frontal assault against terrorism, and if Pakistan resorts to anything evil or unethical, it will, this time, face the firepower and ire of the Indian Navy,” said Singh while addressing officers & sailors onboard India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant off the Goa coast on May 30.
