Operation Sindoor: India Stands Firm Against Third-Party Mediation

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh virtually dismissed claims by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding third-party mediation in the Indo-Pak conflict, assuring that the suspension of Operation Sindoor against terrorists was not influenced by external intervention.

Addressing the Hyderabad Liberation Day celebrations, Singh asserted that 'Operation Sindoor' would resume if necessary, highlighting India's ability to handle its affairs independently, without external interference.

Singh emphasized India's strength, noting significant military actions under PM Modi's leadership, including the Balakot airstrike and other assertive responses to threats. The Modi government maintains that Indo-Pak issues are strictly bilateral, rejecting third-party involvement.
