In a stern warning to Pakistan, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said any misadventure by Islamabad in the Sir Creek sector will invite a “decisive response” that will be strong enough to change both “history and geography”.

Singh's remarks at a military base near the India-Pakistan border in Gujarat's Bhuj came against the backdrop of the neighbouring country expanding military infrastructure in the disputed region.

The defence minister celebrated Dussehra with soldiers and performed 'shastra puja’ (worship of weapons) on the occasion. Singh also said that the Indian military successfully achieved all the objectives of Operation Sindoor and starting a war with Pakistan by escalating the situation was not its aim. The operation "exposed" Pakistan's air defence and proved India's "decisive capability", he said. However, his comments on the disputed Sir Creek sector drew much attention.

"If Pakistan dares to act in the Sir Creek sector, the reply will be so strong that it will change both history and geography,” the minister said.
