India will use every method to deal with Pak-backed terrorism: Rajnath Singh on board INS Vikrant
Pakistan needs to understand clearly that the 'dangerous game' of terrorism that it has been playing since Independence against India is over, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Friday.
In an interaction with naval warriors on board aircraft carrier INS Vikrant off Goa, Singh sent a stern warning to Islamabad saying India will not hesitate to use the methods to deal with terrorism that Pakistan cannot even think of.
Operation Sindoor is not just a military action but India's frontal assault against terrorism, he said. 'We will use every method against terrorism that Pakistan can think of, but we will not hesitate to use those methods also which Pakistan cannot even think of,' he said.
The defence minister said it would be in Pakistan's interest to uproot 'nurseries of terrorism' operating on its soil.
'Anti-India activities are being carried out openly from Pakistani soil. India is completely free to carry out any kind of operation against terrorists, both on this side and the other side of the border and sea,' he said.
'Today, the whole world is acknowledging India's right to protect its citizens against terrorism. Today, no power in the world can stop India from doing this work,' he said. Singh also hailed Indian Navy's role during Operation Sindoor.
'The Indian Navy has impressed every Indian with its silent service. By remaining silent, the Indian Navy succeeded in keeping the Pakistani army tied down,' he said.
When the Indian Air Force destroyed terror bases on Pakistani soil, the Indian Navy's aggressive deployment in Arabian Sea confined Pakistani Navy to its own shores, he said.
On the overall operation, he said 'our strike was so powerful that Pakistan began pleading with entire world to stop India.' In just a short span of time, we demolished Pakistan's terrorist bases and its intentions, he said adding the speed, depth and clarity with which our armed forces acted were remarkable.
Operation Sindoor not only sent a clear message to terrorists but also to their patrons who nurture them, he added, On our own terms, we halted our military actions, the defence minister said.

Letter From Pakistan: UP Families Finally Hear From Sons Lodged In Karachi Jail For 5 Years
Last Updated: The victims claimed that Pakistani officials were ready to release them but awaited necessary formalities from the Indian side to facilitate their return A wave of deep emotions surged through Dhausad village in the Tindwari police station area of Banda district, Uttar Pradesh, when the family of Chand Babu and his friend Laxman, who have been imprisoned in Karachi jail in Pakistan for the last five years, received a letter from them. The arrival of the letter from Pakistan took the villagers by surprise. As soon as the letter reached their home, the family was overwhelmed with mixed emotions of happiness and sorrow. The letter, delivered by two fishermen recently released from a Gujarat jail, contained an appeal from Chand Babu and Laxman to Indian leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, urging the Government of India to ensure their release and bring them back home. The letter revealed that the Supreme Court of Pakistan had declared them innocent and ordered their release in 2023, but there had been no formal response from the Indian government. The victims indicated that Pakistani officials were willing to release them but required the completion of formalities from the Indian side to facilitate their return. The receipt of the letter brought a wave of happiness to the family, yet concerns about their return persist. According to reports, the family is pleading with the Indian government to bring them back. According to Jageshwar, a family member, the boat carrying Chand Babu and Laxman had reached the Pakistan border due to strong winds, leading to their arrest by the Pakistani Army. Despite appeals to various authorities, including the District Magistrate and the Foreign Ministry, no concrete results have been achieved so far. The incident occurred five years ago when Chand Babu and Laxman went to Gujarat for fishing. The strong winds pushed their boat across the Pakistan border, resulting in their arrest by the Pakistani army. First Published: June 03, 2025, 19:35 IST
