NEW DELHI: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday issued a stern warning to Pakistan, saying every “misadventure” would invite a response “beyond their imagination”.While addressing the nation on the 27th Kargil Vijay Diwas at the Kargil War Memorial in Drass, Ladakh, he said, “”Our intention is clear. There will be no talks with Pakistan. If there are any talks, they will be only on PoK, which is a part of India and illegally occupied by Pakistan.””At present, Pakistan has made terrorism a part of its government policy, and the distinction between the military and militants has completely disappeared there. The army not only protects terrorist organizations but also works closely with them. Therefore, during Operation Sindoor, we made it clear that India will no longer view terrorists and the governments that support them separately,” he added.CJP Jantar Mantar Protest UpdatesDharmendra Pradhan resigns as Union education minister amid massive student protests’We won’t go’: CJP’s Dipke says protests to continue till all demands metFresh clashes at Jantar Mantar after Pradhan’s exit; tear gas fired, stones peltedDrawing a sharp contrast between India and Pakistan, Defence minister Rajnath Singh further said that India is focused on innovation, technology and development, while Pakistan continues to promote infiltration and terrorism.”India is pursuing innovation, while Pakistan is seeking new ways of infiltration.
