Rajnath Singh said India wants peaceful relations with other countries.

He also said India must protect itself from threats.

He compared India’s position to a story from the Mahabharata.

In that story, the Pandavas tried to avoid war by asking for only five villages.

When their request was rejected, they fought to defend what they believed was right.

Singh said peace should not require giving up justice.

He said Operation Sindoor showed that India would respond firmly to threats.

He warned that India would not accept nuclear threats or hostile actions from Pakistani soil.
