He said, “The whole world has seen how carelessly Pakistan threatened India. From Srinagar, I ask if nuclear weapons are safe with such a country. I think Pakistan’s nuclear weapons should be under the supervision of IAEA.”
Singh also talked about terrorists attacking tourists in Pahalgam because of their religion. He praised the Indian forces for responding by targeting terrorists based on their actions, not religion. He said, “Terrorists killed innocent people by asking their religion. But you fought back by looking at what they did.”
This was Rajnath Singh’s first visit to Jammu and Kashmir since a recent military operation called Operation Sindoor. He checked the security situation near the Line of Control and the International Border and met with army personnel there.
