If a neighbour tries to create trouble, then dot, dot, dot: Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh issues stern warning to Pakistan on 1st anniversary of Pahalgam terror attack, lauds ‘Operation Sindoor’

India observed the first anniversary of the Pahalgam terror attack, where Pakistan-backed terrorists killed at least 25 male Hindu tourists in Kashmir on 22nd April (Wednesday). The dreadful act was succeeded by India’s “Operation Sindoor,” which targeted terror infrastructure and hideouts located deep within the Islamic Republic. Defence Minister Rajnath paid tribute to the victims and invoked decisive military action while addressing the Indian community in Germany on Wednesday.

“There is no need to tell you what our army has done in Operation Sindoor. Our military power has also become stronger than before. If you look at the history of India, to date, India has not attacked any country in the world from its own side. But the one who is powerful does not attack anyone. But if a neighbour tries to create trouble, then dot, dot, dot. All neighbours are fine, only one is troublesome,” he expressed, in a stern warning to the terror state.

“Earlier, when it came to defence, to meet our defence requirements, we used to rely on imports, and our dependence was on imports. But there has been a huge change in this. Now, instead of being importers, we have become exporters. You will be happy to know that this time we have exported approximately Rs 39,000 crores of defence items,” the union minister highlighted during the gathering.

He is visiting Germany for three days starting on 21st April to conclude a bilateral defence industrial roadmap. Notably, a few weeks ago, his “it’s all-over social media” fame Pakistani counterpart, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, claimed, “If India attempts another false-flag operation, then, God willing, we will take it to Kolkata.”

Pak Def Min Khawaja Asif issues an open threat against India:

“Inshallah, inshallah if they(🇮🇳) try again, they will face even greater humiliation than last year. This time, the conflict will not remain limited to 200 to 250km. We will enter their territory and strike them… pic.twitter.com/T5mZHsW429

Additionally, Asif claimed that New Delhi might be preparing a “false-flag operation,” in which it would arrange an event using Pakistani inmates or its own operatives and blame it on Islamabad. He proposed the possibility of planting bodies and attributing them to terrorism. However, as expected, he provided no proof for these outrageous accusations.

On the other hand, messages flowed from multiple leaders and other notable figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on this crucial day, marking the anniversary of one of the most devastating terrorist assaults in South Kashmir. On 7th May 2025, India launched “Operation Sindoor,” a powerful counterattack that destroyed 9 terrorist launchpads in Pakistan and then targeted strikes destroyed 11 Pakistani airbases in the aftermath of the cowardly terror hit.
