What did Defense Minister Rajnath Singh say on Yoga Day

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that the whole world has seen how our forces showed prudence and destroyed only those bases which were the center of terrorist activities. If we wanted, we could have destroyed other things along with the terrorists, but we maintained restraint. This patience and balance is a symbol of our tradition of yoga, which gives us stability even in adverse circumstances. We not only foiled their intentions, but also took such action that Pakistan had to bow down, after which we put a pause to Operation Sindoor. As stated earlier, Operation Sindoor is not over yet. Not only was there a terrorist incident in Pahalgam against India from across the border, but it was also an attempt to affect India's social and strategic position.
