During an election rally in Barrackpore, West Bengal, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh criticized Pakistan's Defence Minister Khwaja Asif for threatening to attack Kolkata in response to India's actions. Singh recalled the 1971 war, which led to Pakistan's division, warning that further aggression could lead to even greater fragmentation of Pakistan. He emphasized that any misadventure by Pakistan would provoke a decisive response from India, referencing Operation Sindoor, India's military action against terrorist bases in Pakistan following a terror attack in April 2025. BJP MP Jagadambika Pal added that Asif's provocative statements may be an attempt to divert attention from Pakistan's severe economic challenges, exacerbated by rising fuel prices and debt. The exchange underscores the rising tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly as India approaches critical elections.
