\u201cOperation Sindoor<\/em>\u00a0is not just a military action, but India\u2019s frontal assault against terrorism, and if Pakistan resorts to anything evil or unethical, it will, this time, face the firepower and ire of the Indian Navy,\u201d said Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh while addressing officers & sailors onboard India\u2019s first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant off the Goa coast on May 30, 2025. Commending the Indian Navy\u2019s \u201csilent service\u201d during\u00a0Operation Sindoor<\/em>, Raksha Mantri stated that the mighty Carrier Battle Group ensured that the Pakistani Navy did not venture out, or else it would have faced the consequences. He sent a clear message to Pakistan that if it tries to cast an evil eye, the opening of New Delhi\u2019s response will be at the hands of the Indian Navy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Shri Rajnath Singh asserted that Pakistan needs to understand that the time is up for the dangerous game of terrorism it has been playing since Independence. \u201cNow, if Pakistan instigates any terrorist act against India, it will have to bear the consequences and face defeat. India will not hesitate. It will use every method to root out the menace of terrorism,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Raksha Mantri added that anti-India activities are being carried out openly from Pakistani soil and India is completely free to carry out every kind of operation against terrorists on both sides of the border and the sea. Today, the whole world is acknowledging India\u2019s right to protect its citizens against terrorism, he said, emphasising that Pakistan must uproot the nursery of terrorism operating on its soil with its own hands.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Shri Rajnath Singh called for the handing over of terrorists like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar to India. \u201cBoth of them are not only in India\u2019s list of \u2018Most Wanted Terrorists\u2019, they are also UN Designated Terrorists. Tahawwur Rana, an accused in the Mumbai attacks, has been brought to India recently. Hafiz Saeed is also guilty of the Mumbai attacks, and justice must be done for his crime,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On Pakistan\u2019s repeated offer of talks, Raksha Mantri again clarified: \u201cIf there are talks, it will only be on terrorism and PoK. If Pakistan is serious about talks, it should hand over terrorists like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar to India so that justice is served.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Describing the Indian Navy\u2019s role in the integrated operation as praiseworthy, Shri Rajnath Singh stated that when the Indian Air Force destroyed the terror bases on Pakistani soil, the Navy\u2019s aggressive deployment in the Arabian Sea, its unmatched maritime domain awareness and supremacy confined the Pakistani Navy to its own shores. \u201cOur Western Fleet ships deployed at sea, within 96 hours of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, carried out successful firings of surface-to-surface & surface-to-air missiles and torpedoes on the western & eastern coast. It demonstrated the combat readiness of our platforms, systems & crew and our intent & readiness, forcing the enemy to come into a defensive posture,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Raksha Mantri added that the force projection of the Carrier Battle Group effectively indicated India\u2019s intent and capability. The tremendous power of the Indian Navy, its military acumen and destructive capabilities have broken the enemy\u2019s morale, he said. He urged the Navy to continue leaving no stone unturned in its preparations, reiterating Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi\u2019s clear message that if any terrorist attack takes place on the Indian soil, it will be considered as an \u2018Act of War\u2019 and responded in the same way.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Shri Rajnath Singh reasserted that\u00a0Operation Sindoor\u00a0<\/em>is not yet over; it is just a pause, a warning. He added that if Pakistan makes the same mistake again, India\u2019s answer will be harsher.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lauding the speed, depth and clarity of the Armed Forces during\u00a0Operation Sindoor<\/em>, Raksha Mantri stated that the precision strikes displayed seamless synergy among the three Services as well as coordination among Ministries and Government agencies. He added that the operation sent a clear message to the terrorists & its patrons that India will no longer tolerate and give a befitting reply. \u201cWithin a very short span of time, we destroyed Pakistan’s terrorist base and its intentions. Our response was so strong that Pakistan pleaded to stop. We stopped our military actions on our own terms. Our forces had not even started showing their might,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On his interactions with the Army and Air Force personnel and now the Naval warriors post-Operation Sindoor<\/em>, Shri Rajnath Singh expressed satisfaction that whether land, sky or sea, India is fully prepared to deal with any situation anywhere. He recalled the contribution of the older version of INS Vikrant during the Liberation of Goa, stating that the aircraft carrier had led the Indian Navy\u2019s fleet during the operation in 1961, and now, in its new indigenous avatar, it is spearheading India\u2019s resolve against terrorism.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Raksha Mantri concluded his address by saying: \u201cToday, we are in an era where wars are not fought only with bullets and bombs, but also through cyber space, data dominance and strategic deterrence. It is a matter of pride that the Navy is moving ahead in these areas.\u201d He described the Indian Navy as not just the sentinel of the Indian Ocean, but a strategic force that strengthens India\u2019s presence in the region. It warns the enemy that India is no longer just a regional power, but is moving towards becoming a global power, he said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Onboard INS Vikrant, Shri Rajnath Singh was accompanied by the Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi; Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief Western Naval Command Vice Admiral Sanjay J Singh and other senior officials of the Indian Navy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Raksha Mantri reached Goa on May 29, 2025, and interacted with the Indian Navy personnel who participated in the initial phase of\u00a0Operation Sindoor<\/em>. Apart from INS Vikrant, he embarked on other key frontline warships, which were part of the Carrier Battle Group and played a pivotal role in compelling Pakistani Navy units to operate close to Makran Coast.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Upon his arrival at INS Hansa, Shri Rajnath Singh was presented a Guard of Honour. He was, thereafter, given an insight on the progress of operations on the maritime front and overall preparedness of the units at sea.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
