Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Friday visited the Indian Air Force Station in Gujarat’s Bhuj, days after India successfully executed ‘Operation Sindoor’—a major military offensive targeting multiple terror infrastructure points in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and deep inside Pakistan.

The Defence minister was accompanied by Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, and both were expected to review the air force command centre and congratulate the personnel involved in the operation. Singh’s visit to Bhuj holds special significance, as Pakistan had claimed it had severely damaged the airbase during its retaliation—an assertion India strongly refutes.

The visit not only seeks to punch holes in Pakistan’s propaganda but also sends a strong message to the global community about India’s military preparedness. The Defence Minister’s presence at the Bhuj IAF base underlines that Indian armed forces effectively defended their bases and neutralised all projectiles and missiles launched from across the border in response to Operation Sindoor.

A day earlier, Rajnath Singh had travelled to Jammu and Kashmir to assess the broader security situation along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border. Addressing soldiers, Singh invoked the moral dimension of India’s response: “Terrorists killed innocent people in Pahalgam by asking their ‘dharma’ (religion they follow). Then, the whole world saw ‘Operation Sindoor’. We killed terrorists by looking at their ‘karma’ (deeds). They killed the innocent tourists by targeting them based on their religion. This was Pakistan’s ‘karma’ but we eliminated them by looking at their ‘karma’, this is our ‘Bharatiya dharma’,” he told the forces.

He also raised serious concerns over the safety of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal and urged the global nuclear watchdog to take control of it.

“It is time that the Nuclear facility of Pakistan is taken over by an international body so that their Nuclear bluff is called forever,” he said, calling Pakistan an irresponsible nation.

“India will not succumb to any Nuclear blackmail by Pakistan as has been proved by the strikes on terror targets by us,” Singh added.
