On Friday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed his recent statement about the need for the Armed Forces to be prepared for war. He clarified that his intention was to emphasize that “India’s peace cannot be disturbed under any circumstances.”

But today given the geopolitical situation, I told the army that to maintain peace in India and the world, we should always be ready for war. I said so that India’s peace is not disturbed under any circumstances.” said Rajnath Singh in his media interaction.
