"Ready For Any Strikes Against Terrorists": Rajnath Singh's Message To Pak At NDTV Defence Summit

India will not compromise on its national security and will be prepared to carry out strikes against terrorists as long as a neighbouring country continues to "propagate terrorism", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said today. Speaking at the NDTV Defence Summit 2026, Singh said India wanted peace and did not seek war or the territory of another country, but warned that a desire for peace should not be mistaken for weakness. "India believes in peace, does not want war. India does not want to take over another land, does not want to threaten anyone. But there is a difference between silence and weakness," he said. "India wants peace, but it will not compromise on its security. Till the time our neighbouring country propagates terrorism, we will be ready for any strikes against terrorists - we want to tell them and the world," he added.
