Indian Army acted with precision and restraint in strikes against Pakistan, says Rajnath Singh

New Delhi: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said the Indian Army carried out strikes against Pakistan with “precision, vigilance and sensitivity,” ensuring that civilian areas were not impacted during the operation.

Speaking at an event to mark the raising day of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), Singh said, “Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our Indian Army has made all Indians proud. They have created a new history.”

He said the targets were destroyed with pinpoint accuracy as per the pre-planned strategy, without harming civilian zones. “The Army showed sensitivity by ensuring that no civilian place or populated area was affected,” he added.

Drawing a parallel with the Ramayana, Singh said, “We followed the ideals of Hanuman ji in Ashok Vatika. We killed only those who killed our innocent people.”

The minister’s remarks came in the wake of India’s recent military operation, Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
