JAMMU: ‘ Operation Sindoor ’ sent a powerful message to terrorists and their patrons that new India is assertive, resolute and will no longer be a victim of terrorism , but respond with strength and strategy, defence minister Rajnath Singh said on Friday.

This is just a pause. I want to tell this to my neighboring country,” he added.
