We must continue to introspect; remain prepared for war-like situation: Rajnath

NEW DELHI: (Oct 27) India must remain ready for a “war-like situation” as the four-day military conflict with Pakistan in May showed anything can happen anytime along the frontiers, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday.

Addressing an event, Singh said that though India gave a “firm response” to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, it should serve as a case study to learn and chart the future course of action in dealing with national security challenges.

The defence minister said the effective use of indigenously manufactured military equipment during the May 7-10 operation bolstered India’s reputation both regionally and internationally.
