'What You Desire Will Happen’: Defence Minister Assures Strong Retaliation After Pahalgam Attack

What You Desire Will Happen: Rajnath Singh on Sunday stated that as a defence minister it is his "responsibility to give a befitting reply to those who dare to attack" India, which comes in the vibe of April 22 terrorist activity in Jammu and Kashmir, Pahalgam, killing 26 people, mostly tourists.

Speaking at the Sanskriti Jagran Mahotsav, Rajnath Singh, the defense minister, said, "I want to assure you that under PM Narendra Modi's leadership, whatever you desire will come to fruition." He also reminded people about the "working style" of PM Modi.

“You know our PM very well, you are familiar with his working style, determination,” Rajnath Singh said at the event in Delhi.

“As a nation, our brave soldiers have always protected the physical form of India, while on the other hand, our sages and wise men have protected the spiritual form of India. While on one hand, our soldiers fight on the 'Rannbhoomi' (battlefield), on the other hand, our saints fight on the 'Jeevanbhoomi'. As a defence minister, it is my responsibility to ensure the security of the country's borders along with my soldiers. It is my responsibility to give a befitting reply to those who dare to attack our country,” Rajnath Singh said.

According to Rajnath Singh, powerful India is neither in arms nor ammunitions but also in culture and spirituality.
