Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said in a strong message on Tuesday that on April 22, terrorists in Pahalgam targeted citizens on the basis of religion, while India responded to the terrorists on the basis of their deeds. He said that the way the terrorists targeted people by asking religion in the terrorist attacks in Pahalgam, he shook the whole country. That attack was not just on our people, it was an attack on India’s social unity. Against this, India, taking a big and strict action, destroyed the terrorist bases and other information related to it in Pakistan. This is the biggest action in Indian history against terrorism.
Rajnath Singh said that as long as there was Section 370 in Kashmir, everyone used to say that Kashmir is in India, but its completely integration in India is incomplete. When 370 was removed under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi ji, Kashmir started walking with India. Last year, more than 35 lakh tourists came to Kashmir. is not no passing craze. This is a sign of the trust, which is for the first time in the peace of Jammu and Kashmir in the minds of the people there.
The Defense Minister said that the Indian Army has responded to the terrorists, but such incidents should not happen in future, this is a very important issue related to India’s national security. Therefore, I understand that now it is time to be cautious against this growing terrorism, not only at the level of governments, but also at the level of the public. He said that terrorism is the biggest ‘curse’ of humanity. It is the enemy of the most important values of human civilization. Terrorism is also a major threat to our peaceful co -existence and democracy. No civilized country can bear it.
Rajnath Singh said that terrorism is a distorted mindset. It is a stigma on humanity. There is a hindrance in the path of progress. The fight against terrorism is not just a question of security, it is a fight to protect the basic values of humanity. This is a fight against the barbaric thinking that is against all human values. He said that history has proved again and again that any goal of terrorism, no matter how big it is, is always tried to get it on the strength of violence and fear and it is never successful.
The Defense Minister said that we have always seen that countries like Pakistan have been continuously supporting terrorism. It is so contradictory that both India and Pakistan became free at the same time, but today India has got the identity of Mother of Democracy in the whole world, while Pakistan has emerged as Father of Global Terrorism. He said that Pakistan has always sheltered terrorists, has given them training and many kinds of help on their land. Pahalgam is just an example, the list of crimes of Pakistan -backed terrorists is very long. Pakistan is trying to justify terrorism every time. Therefore, it is important that in the fight against terrorism, we should not only end terrorists, but also end the entire Terror Infrastructure that helps them.
