In a stern warning to Pakistan, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh declared that Operation Sindoor is still underway and what has happened so far was merely a glimpse of India’s capability.

Speaking to Indian Air Force personnel at Bhuj Air Base in Gujarat, Singh said, “Operation Sindoor is not over. What you saw was just a trailer. When the time comes, the full picture will be revealed.” He added that Pakistan is currently “on probation,” and if its conduct doesn’t improve, it will face the “strictest punishment.”

Singh praised the Indian Air Force’s precision and swiftness during the operation, stating it highlighted India's growing military strength. “You’ve made the nation believe that the new India doesn’t tolerate provocation—it responds decisively,” he said, adding that no words could fully express the country’s gratitude.

He recalled how the IAF destroyed nine terrorist camps inside Pakistan and struck several air bases during the operation. “The mission didn’t just display military power—it showed the world that India’s warfare tactics and technology have transformed,” Singh noted.

He also thanked Air Chief Marshal AP Singh and the entire force, saying the IAF had demonstrated its ability to strike any corner of Pakistan. “Our Air Force truly rules the skies with courage and determination,” he said.

Referring to the BrahMos missile, Singh added, “Even Pakistan now admits its power. The Indian-made missile turned night into day for them.”

Amid chants of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, Singh remarked, “In the time it takes to have breakfast, you neutralised the enemy.” He concluded by saying that Operation Sindoor made every Indian—at home and abroad—proud of the Air Force’s swift and decisive 23-minute operation.
