Pak's Nuclear Weapons Should Be Monitored By IAEA: Rajnath

The purpose of the visit is to review the overall security and the combat readiness of the armed forces in the union territory, PTI reported.

Singh was accompanied by Jammu and Kashmir라이브 바카라 Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha during his visit. He inspected Pakistani shells dropped in Jammu and Kashmir, and this debris displayed at the Badami Bagh Cantonment, ANI reported.

"Pakistan's nuclear weapons should be taken under monitoring of International Atomic Energy Agency," Singh said while speaking in Jammu and Kashmir, PTI reported. He asked, "I want to raise question before whole world: are nuclear weapons safe in hands of Pakistan, a rogue and irresponsible nation"

He said that the entire nation is proud of what took place during Operation Sindoor. "Besides being the Defence Minister, I am here to express gratitude to you as an Indian citizen," Singh said, as per ANI.

In his first visit in the Union Terrirtory since the Pahalgam attack, he said that "Terrorists killed innocent people in Pahalgam by asking their 'dharma' (religion they follow)," and for that "we killed terrorists by looking at their 'karma' (deeds)," ANI reported.

He said he salutes the people of Jammu and Kashmir for the manner in which they expressed their anger against Pakistan and terrorists after Pahalgam attack. "I am here to feel that energy which destroyed the enemies. The manner in which you destroyed Pakistani chowkis and bunkers across the border, I think the enemy will never be able to forget it," he added, ANI reported.

India launched Operation Sindoor as a retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack - targeting nine “terrorist infrastructures” in Pakistan - on May 7. After the operation, tensions rapidly escalated between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, bringing the subcontinent to the brink of war. 

De-escalation has been underway since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that was announced on Saturday.
