India set new global benchmark in combating terrorism: V-P
Jaipur: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said that India has set a new global benchmark by striking terrorism with precision while upholding the vision of peace. He emphasised that terrorism is no longer a concern of a single nation, but a threat to global security. 'For the first time, India carried out precise strikes on Jaish-e-Muhammed and Lashkar-e-Toiba hideouts across international borders, and the world did not demand proof. This was a clear demonstration of India's rising power and global standing.'
Dhankhar noted that under the leadership of the Prime Minister, India had not only achieved a military success but also a diplomatic victory.
'The decision to halt the Indus Water Treaty was historic. Until India's concerns are addressed, there will be no reconsideration. This bold move sent a strong message both domestically and internationally,' he said. Praising Rajasthan's rich legacy, the Vice President said, 'This is the land of Maharana Pratap and Maharaja Surajmal, guardians of our identity and freedom.' He also recalled India's demonstration of nuclear capability in Pokhran-II, stating, 'India first showcased its strength on this very soil in May, when Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Chief Minister Bhairon Singh Shekhawat led the nation.'

India has shown world that terrorism will no longer be tolerated: Dhankhar
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday (June 5, 2025) said India has shown the world that terrorism will no longer be tolerated and that the nation's rise is now "unstoppable, incremental and full of possibilities". Addressing students at Sainik School Chittorgarh — his alma mater — on the occasion of his visit, Mr. Dhankhar said, "Enough is enough! No more tolerance of terrorism. Those who will commit barbarity, use terrorism as a weapon, will be taught the lesson of their life like Bahawalpur and Muridke." Citing India's recent military operations, he said, "Operation Sindoor did not target civilians, did not wantonly destroy property. Only the terrorist hideouts were targeted. Precise, calibrated, accurate and we all had the occasion to see it." Lauding the Indian armed forces, he said, "The Pahalgam barbarity has been avenged to the accolades of the entire world. Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, who defined terrorism, their locations in Bahawalpur and Muridke, deep inside the territory of Pakistan, beyond international border were destroyed." "You must have seen coffins being escorted by terrorists, their army and their politicians. That was the greatest success of our defence forces," he remarked. Calling the present times a transformational phase for the country, the vice president said, "We are a nation on the rise, the rise is unstoppable, the rise is incremental. We are no longer a nation with potential. "Our potential is getting exploited. We are no longer a nation that dreams, No." "Viksit Bharat is our destination, we are marching towards that and we will succeed," he asserted, urging the youth to contribute by making optimal use of their time and talent. He said India's achievements in science and defence reflect this growing strength. "What I did not dream. I never thought Bharat will rise so much that we will be the first nation in the world to land our Chandrayaan-3 at the South Pole of the Moon." Welcoming the increased participation of women in all sectors, the vice president said a big change has taken place. The Sainik Schools were meant only for boys and 50% of humanity was ignored. "Can you succeed in the world without 50% of the talent not being recognised?" he asked. He said Indian girls are combat pilots, they are in the police force and in the CAPFs (Central Armed Police Forces). He said those girls involved with ISRO are called rocket women. Participation of girls in equal measure is fundamental, he said. Appreciating Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, he said, "I must appreciate Prime Minister Modi for achieving something which did not happen for three decades earlier — an epochal development, a game-changing development -- one-third reservation for women in Lok Sabha and state legislatures." He also highlighted the establishment of all-girls Sainik Schools, including one in Mathura, as a major milestone. Calling Sainik School Chittorgarh his true birthplace, Mr. Dhankhar said, "I was born in village Kithana, district Jhunjhunu, but that was my biological birth. My real birth took place in Sainik School, Chittorgarh." "Sainik School taught me values, discipline, decorum, friendliness, care for the environment, to be one amongst many and not to be alone ever." The vice president encouraged students to overcome fear and failure. "Never fear, never have tension, never have stress because these only slide you down. There are no failures in life. Failure is a message: do more." He invoked Swami Vivekananda's call to action, "Arise, Awake and stop not till the goal is reached."

Work will be done on hydroelectric projects, construction of large reservoirs Not just hydropower projects, the government will also approve irrigation and water storage schemes soon. Hydropower projects will not only produce electricity but also help in storing water. Hydropower projects like Uri Stage-II (240 MW), Kirthai-II (930 MW) and Sawalkot (1856 MW) are still awaiting approval. These projects will not only generate electricity but will also create reservoirs to store water. This will solve the water problem in the area. Pakistan to face more trouble The environment ministry has already taken several steps to expedite the process of green clearance. A single-window portal has also been created for this. The statement of the Union minister shows that the government is giving priority to strategically important projects. That is, the government wants to complete these projects as soon as possible. This will bring many benefits to the country. Electricity will be available, irrigation will take place and the water problem will also be solved. However, this news is no less than a nightmare for Pakistan . Because, as India establishes its control over the water of the Indus river basin, the flow of water going towards it will decrease.
