Rajnath Singh Hails Navy’s Operation Sindoor, Blocking Pakistan’s Warships and Proving India’s Oceanic Power

National news:  Addressing top naval commanders, Rajnath Singh said Operation Sindoor is a symbol of India’s willpower and capability. The Navy restricted Pakistan’s warships to their own coasts. The world saw India’s operational readiness and discipline. This step sent Pakistan a clear warning that India will never allow any intrusion in its maritime space.

Enemy Warships Blocked

The Navy created such a strong deterrence that Pakistan’s ships did not dare to move beyond their ports. Singh said this was India’s biggest victory without a major war. The Navy displayed its ability to control the seas and force the enemy into submission. It was the result of strategy, technology, and professional discipline.

Dominance in Indian Ocean

Singh stressed that the Indian Ocean has become the center of geopolitics. Here, the Indian Navy not only protects India’s security but also provides relief to friendly nations. For destabilizing forces, India’s presence has become a nightmare. With growing capabilities, the Indian Navy has taken a leadership role in the region.

Securing Merchant Ships

In the last six months, India deployed warships, submarines, and aircraft on a large scale. The Navy ensured the safe passage of more than 335 merchant vessels. These ships carried over 1.2 million tons of cargo worth $5.6 billion. This proved India is now a trusted guardian of global maritime trade and economy.

March Towards Self-Reliance

The Defence Minister called a self-reliant navy the true foundation of a confident nation. In the past ten years, nearly 67 percent of naval capital contracts have gone to Indian industries. India is no longer dependent on imports alone. The Navy is working with startups and Make-in-India programs on 194 innovation projects, boosting both security and local industry.

Power of New Technology

Modern wars are no longer fought only with ships or submarines. They depend on technology, surveillance, and intelligence. Rajnath Singh said India is building advanced systems on its own soil. The Navy is adopting network-based, autonomous, and technology-driven platforms, giving India an edge and protecting it against enemy advancements.

India Ready for the Future

The Defence Minister underlined that India is prepared for any challenge. Whether it comes from Pakistan or any other power, the Navy can deliver a fitting reply. A self-reliant Indian Navy is not just a shield for the nation but also a sign to the world that India stands for peace, security, and stability in the oceans.
