“Any Aggression by Pakistan in Sir Creek Will Be Met with a Resounding Response,” Warns Defence Minister Rajnath Singh

Bhuj: On the occasion of Dussehra, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh issued a stern warning to Pakistan on Thursday, cautioning against any misadventure in the Sir Creek region. Speaking at a ‘shastra puja’ held at a military base near the border city of Bhuj, Singh declared that India would respond firmly.

“Any aggression by Pakistan in the Sir Creek area will be met with a resounding response that will change both history and geography,” Singh said. He recalled the 1965 war, stating, “In the 1965 war, the Indian Army had demonstrated the capability to reach Lahore. Today in 2025, Pakistan should remember that one route to Karachi passes through the creek.”

Highlighting the longstanding border dispute in the region, Singh said, “Despite 78 years of independence, the border dispute continues in the Sir Creek area. India has repeatedly attempted to resolve this issue through dialogue, but Pakistan’s intentions are flawed and unclear.”

Singh also pointed to recent developments, noting, “The recent expansion of its (Pakistan’s) military infrastructure in the areas adjacent to Sir Creek reveals its intentions.”
