Rajnath Singh: No Dialogue with Terror-Embracing Pakistan

India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh declares that dialogue with Pakistan is impossible, citing its lack of democracy and religious fanaticism. Singh emphasizes India's firm stance against terrorism and highlights past actions, like surgical strikes and the Balakot airstrike, taken under PM Modi's leadership to establish peace.

India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has firmly rejected any prospects of dialogue with Pakistan, asserting that meaningful talks can only occur with countries possessing democratic and civilised values. Speaking in the Lok Sabha on the topic of Operation Sindoor, Singh criticised Pakistan for lacking democracy and fostering religious fanaticism and hatred against India.

Singh stated there could be no place for dialogue with a nation whose language is terrorism, which thrives on 'fear, blood, and hate'. He highlighted Pakistan's practice of conducting state funerals for terrorists as evidence of their intentions, drawing attention to the participation of military officers in such events.

Reiterating the Narendra Modi-led government's strong stance underlining peace, Singh reflected on India's past efforts to establish peace, like Modi's visit to Pakistan in 2015. However, India, under Modi's leadership, has taken decisive steps, such as surgical strikes and the Balakot airstrike, as part of its unwavering commitment to counterterrorism.
