Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday slammed Pakistan for making terrorism a “part of its state policy”, and said there will be no talks with the country other than on Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir, which is a “part of India illegally occupied” by it. In his address at the Kargil War Memorial here, the defence minister also said that Operation Sindoor clearly demonstrated what will be the fate of those who attempt to threaten India with terrorism, asserting that the country can respond to any misadventure by Pakistan in a manner “beyond their imagination”. The occasion was the 27th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, with Singh describing India’s victory in the Kargil war in 1999 as “a diamond studded in the crown of Bharat Mata”.
