Islamabad: In a sharp diplomatic confrontation, Pakistan on Monday issued a strong rebuke to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s recent remarks hinting that “Sindh may return to India.” Islamabad called the statement “delusional, dangerously revisionist and expansionist,” accusing New Delhi of violating international principles and disturbing regional stability.
The reaction came a day after Singh, speaking at a Sindhi community event in New Delhi, suggested that although Sindh lies across the border today, its civilisational ties with India remain unbroken — and could even realign in the future. “Today, the land of Sindh may not be a part of India, but civilisationally, Sindh will always be a part of India,” he said, adding that “borders can change… Who knows, tomorrow Sindh may return to India again.”
Pakistan Condemns “Hindutva Expansionist Mindset”
Issuing a formal statement, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs attacked Singh’s comments as irresponsible and provocative. “Pakistan strongly condemns the Indian Defence Minister’s delusional and dangerously revisionist remarks regarding Pakistan’s Sindh province,” the statement read.
Calling it a manifestation of a “Hindutva expansionist mindset,” Pakistan said the remarks challenge internationally recognised borders and undermine the sovereignty of nation-states. “Such statements reveal an expansionist Hindutva mindset that seeks to challenge established realities and stands in clear violation of international law, the inviolability of recognised borders, and the sovereignty of states,” Islamabad added.
Pakistan also urged Indian leadership to avoid rhetoric that fuels hostility. “We urge Mr Rajnath Singh and other Indian leaders to refrain from provocative rhetoric that threatens regional peace and stability. It would be far more constructive for the Government of India to focus on ensuring the security of its own citizens, particularly vulnerable minority communities,” the ministry said.
Rajnath Singh Invokes LK Advani and Sindh’s Civilisational Legacy
During his speech, Singh invoked emotional accounts from former Home Minister LK Advani, who belonged to Sindh before Partition. Singh highlighted how deeply Sindhi Hindus felt the loss of their homeland after 1947 — a separation tied as much to culture as geography.
Recalling Advani’s words, Singh said: “Many Muslims in Sindh also believed that the water of the Indus was no less sacred than the Aab-e-Zamzam of Mecca. This is Advani’s quote.”
The Defence Minister emphasised that cultural identity often outlives political borders and hinted that geopolitical shifts are always possible.
“As far as land is concerned, borders can change. Who knows, tomorrow Sindh may return to India again. Our people of Sindh, who hold the Indus River sacred, will always be our own. No matter where they are, they will always be ours,” he said.
A New Flashpoint in India–Pakistan Tensions
Singh’s remarks — and Pakistan’s immediate counterblast — have added a new layer of friction to already strained ties between the two nations. Analysts say Islamabad’s sharp wording reflects concern over any narrative suggesting territorial revisionism, while New Delhi frames the remarks as cultural and civilisational, not political.
