When Ravan crossed Laxman Rekha, Lanka burned: Rijiju on Pak ahead of Op Sindoor debate
In a bold and daring statement, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has sent a clear message to Pakistan ahead of the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha. Operation Sindoor was a surgical strike carried out by the Indian Armed Forces on May 7, striking nine terrorist hideouts in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
Minister Rijiju, known for his unflinching stance on national security issues, made this statement while referring to the ancient Hindu epic, Ramayana. According to the epic, Lord Rama’s brother Lakshmana had drawn a line (Laxman Rekha) around their camp, which was not to be crossed by the demon king Ravana. However, Ravana’s curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to cross the line, leading to a fierce battle between the two sides.
In a similar vein, Minister Rijiju stated, “When Ravan crossed the Laxman Rekha, Lanka burned. When Pakistan crossed the red lines drawn by India, terrorist camps faced the fire!” This statement is a clear message to Pakistan that any attempt to cross the red lines drawn by India will be met with swift and decisive action.
Operation Sindoor was a strategic move by the Indian Armed Forces to strike at the very heart of terrorism in Pakistan. The operation was carried out in response to the brutal Pahalgam terror attack, which left several innocent lives lost. The Indian Armed Forces targeted nine terrorist hideouts, dealing a significant blow to the terrorist organizations operating in Pakistan.
Minister Rijiju’s statement is a clear reflection of the government’s commitment to national security and its determination to protect the country from terrorist threats. The statement also sends a strong message to Pakistan that any further attempts to sponsor or support terrorism will be met with stern action.
Pakistan, which has a long history of sponsoring terrorism, has been accused of providing safe haven to terrorist organizations such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. These organizations have been responsible for carrying out several attacks on Indian soil, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the 2019 Pulwama attack.
In recent years, Pakistan has been under increasing pressure from the international community to take concrete action against terrorist organizations operating in the country. However, Pakistan has been reluctant to take decisive action, citing political and strategic reasons.
India, on the other hand, has been pursuing a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism. The government has taken several measures to strengthen national security, including the implementation of the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) and the creation of a new intelligence agency, the National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID).
In the context of Operation Sindoor, Minister Rijiju’s statement is a clear indication of the government’s resolve to take decisive action against terrorism. The statement also sends a strong message to Pakistan that any further attempts to sponsor or support terrorism will be met with stern action.
Ahead of the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, Minister Rijiju’s statement is likely to generate significant interest and debate. The statement is a clear reflection of the government’s commitment to national security and its determination to protect the country from terrorist threats.
In conclusion, Minister Rijiju’s statement is a bold and daring message to Pakistan ahead of the debate on Operation Sindoor. The statement is a clear reflection of the government’s commitment to national security and its determination to protect the country from terrorist threats. The statement also sends a strong message to Pakistan that any further attempts to sponsor or support terrorism will be met with stern action.
