India’s response reflects will of 140 crore citizens’, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat hails armed forces

11 (IANS) Following fresh ceasefire violations by Pakistan, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, on Sunday, lauded the Indian Armed Forces for their courageous and effective response, stating that the nation’s military strength has once again gained global recognition.

Speaking to the media, Shekhawat said, “Last night, reports came in that Pakistan violated the ceasefire again. In line with the expectations of the 140 crore citizens of the country, the Indian military has displayed extraordinary courage and valour in its operations, and through this, India's military capability has gained a new recognition across the world.”

Commenting on the recent escalation and Operation Sindoor, Shekhawat said that Pakistan’s deliberate provocation amid already tense border conditions was unacceptable. He emphasised India's unwavering commitment to eliminate terrorism.

“Given the circumstances at the border and following Operation Sindoor, Pakistan once again deliberately carried out aggressive actions. Our commitment to eradicating terrorism has been clearly demonstrated over the past few days. India has proven both the authenticity and effectiveness of its stance on the global stage,” he said.
