Rajnath Singh Recalls Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s Statement
Speaking in the Lok Sabha on Operation Sindoor, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, "Atal Bihari Vajpayee had said in Lahore that India aspires for lasting peace and friendship, as a stable Pakistan is in India’s best interest. This reflected our thinking and India’s civilisational values, which view peace as a strength. However, it was misunderstood; our efforts for peace were mistaken for weakness."
