Speaking at a cultural event in Jammu, Sinha reiterated India’s warning, adding that armed forces are prepared to strike “every inch” of Pakistan’s territory if provoked further.

“India has warned terror state Pakistan that our forces can attack every inch of its land, and its entire existence could be wiped off the face of the earth if it continues to nurture terrorists in its backyard,” Sinha said after attending a theatrical performance of Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar’s epic poem Rashmirathi, organised by the University of Jammu.

“I am proud to see that our young generation is fulfilling the dreams of our founding fathers. They are upholding democratic values, protecting the sovereignty and integrity of the nation, and making sure that the terror state Pakistan is punished for its misadventure,” he said.

Sinha’s stern message comes in the wake of Operation Sindoor, India’s military retaliation following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives.

The J&K LG hailed Operation Sindoor as a bold demonstration of India’s zero-tolerance approach to cross-border terrorism and praised the armed forces for their decisive actions against what he described as a “terrorist nation.”

Sinha also urged India’s youth to mirror the spirit of the armed forces by contributing to national growth through innovation, education, and service.

“Just like brave soldiers are standing firm in protecting the borders, our young students too should dedicate themselves to driving innovation and India’s economic growth,” Sinha further said.

“Dinkar is incomparable. His poems are timeless, and each verse is dedicated to existence. He induces intense feelings in his epic, and the nation can sing a song through his words.
