Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday highlighted the difference between Pakistani terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s response to it, saying that Operation Sindoor targeted terrorists for their actions rather than their religion, while leaving any civilian or military establishment untouched. While interacting with the Indian community in Morocco during his visit, the Defence Minister highlighted the secular nature of India, which does not discriminate people from different communities. “Ab bharat ki vishesha dekho, atankwadio ne deshvashiyo ka dharam puch kar mara, Magar hum logo ne kisi ka dharm dekh kar nahi, unka karm dekh kar maara hai. (The terrorists came here and killed our citizens after asking their religion But we did not see someone’s religion, but their actions),” Singh told during his interaction in Rabat, Morocco. Talking about India having a strong secular base, the minister added, “We have no problems in people believing in whatever religion. This is the freedom, whoever wants to believe in whatever religion they believe. Whoever, whether from a particular religion, community, we don’t discriminate. This is India’s character.”Singh further highlighted how India only targeted people and organisation who were responsible for the attack, while not targeting any civilian or military establishment.
